Interrupted Train of Thought
"Just what are you doing?" exclaimed an Arctic-icy voice behind us.
I whipped round to see --
"Hold on, there, Dinah," Talbot interrupts. "Don't you think you oughtta make Shadows on the Train the subject of this post?"
Why ... I guess Talbot's right. I should. (Er -- later, Mrs. Dubuque.) This month my newest adventure, Shadows on the Train, chugs into bookstores! You can read all about my, Talbot and Pantelli's slightly off-track adventures with a mysterious treasure that someone is trying to steal. Problem is, we don't know exactly what the treasure is, except that it's worth a whopping eighty grand. And, as we travel by train across the country, a nice little old lady vanishes from the dining car! Very Hitchcockian, my mother would say. I'd say, I hope the old lady got to finish her crumpets first. I mean, thwarting someone's attempt to eat -- now that's brutal. Anyhow, you can get all aboard! with our fearful adventures by slinking amongst the deadly ... Shadows on the Train.

Hi, V.P. This is me, Dinah. Just between you and me, I'm the real one and Melanie's fictional. Er - maybe don't tell her I said that, 'kay? Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the book! And bravo for being curious. It's a very healthy condition, in my view.
