Proof of new book, with one cover idea. (This photo is horizontal so I can wrap it to the back.) If anyone wants to give it a beta read, I'd appreciate it.

What about the International Criminal Court? There are the members (the USA is not one of them). Would it have jurisdiction if someone with an international arrest warrant appears in a member's territory?

If someone is arrested in an ICC jurisdiction, can they be tried there?
As I understand it, the US has defeated its jurisdiction as a practical matter by sanctioning participants. But a new administration can simply allow the ICC's judicial progress to go forward. That's a lot of countries.

I very much liked some parts of an old 44K story and not others. So I'm doing a major rewrite. A couple of connected New York romances I hope to get out by the end of the month. And playing with possible covers.

Throwback. My second/last marathon. 2006. On Fifth. With my distinctive head tilt. My wife said she could always know it was me by that tilt, which I never realized I had until I saw pictures.
After I got my bag, I met her on W77th. She hugged me. Said she didn't understand it but was happy for me.
