Dear friends and followers,

The one thing I’ve learned about deadlines is that they are always closer than they appear. Looking at my calendar, it feels as though all of my time for the rest of the year has been claimed and eaten up by this, that, or the other. Are we on track for the finish and the magical 750? You’ve been generous and you’ve gotten me this far already, but the future is a mystery. I can only hope and pray that any efforts made now will bear fruit in time.

It often feels like an impossibility, but I believe in miracles. And speaking of impossibilities, here’s a look at another one of the characters you’ll meet in "Murder at the Veterans’ Club": Mortimer Wolfe.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend for those of us in Canada, and I plan to be stuffing myself with turkey. I will be remembering in gratitude the support I’ve been given so far. And until we meet again: have fun, and keep reading.
