How I Stole From the President While Saving a Foster Home

Comedy / Crime

A man has been unemployed so long the bank will foreclose on the foster home he and his wife manage unless he can work with his father, a retired thief with Alzheimer’s, and commit a heist: a portrait of the Prez and $1M cash

I love this story, my 6th book, and it is the season, right?

"A peasant girl, driven by her need for strength that may consume her, becomes the mastermind behind an evil power looking to enslave humanity and wonders how many must die for her to find herself."

I stepped into 1940 yesterday, as sunset approached, and snapped this photo.

Golden light shines everywhere. A tree stands in it. Leaves changing for autumn.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Always good to block out some time with recurring busy time, especially in mornings.

In case you need it today, here’s a lovely view of a lake nearby, and location of the regional #NoKings rally.

Lake Quanapowitt in Wakefield MA on a pristine fall day in October. The tree line of the far shore cuts the image in two, clear blue skies above and calm blue waters below.
