Hannah HoweSpecial greetings to my oldest (?) reader, a ninety-two-year-old lady who always requests a copy of the latest Sam book before it’s published. It’s great to see that a love of books can indeed last you a lifetime.
Also in this update, just to let you know that I have joined Goodreads. If you are a member of that community, please send me a friend request so that we can connect there and share our interest in books. 😃 https://www.goodreads.com/hannah-howe
In The Big Chill and Ripper, books three and four in the Sam Smith Mystery Series, Sam has a bodyguard, Mac. Mac drives a stylish Bugatti, Type 57, much like this one.
I’m delighted to say that the print versions of Sam’s Song and Love and Bullets are now available from Amazon.com in the USA and from other Amazon websites in the UK and Europe. Please follow this link for more details. http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00OK7E24E
This is a recent discovery for me. Does anyone remember Modesty Blaise? I believe the original comic strips appeared in the Evening Standard from the 1960s through to the 1990s. The stories are well written by Peter O’Donnell and illustrated by a variety of artists. Modesty is a larger than life figure, a woman of action, and I understand that Peter O’Donnell wrote around a dozen novels to accompany the comic strips, though I haven’t read them yet. Does anyone have any thoughts on this series?

As followers of this website know, domestic violence is a central theme of Sam’s stories and this is an example of one of the many excellent associations set up to support victims. Please visit their page if you are on Facebook and share the link.
