On a different planet, in a galaxy far, far away, Buddy Bones has his white board out, trying to figure out how each character is related in d.c. scots “Magruder Mysteries” series. Let’s listen to what he has to say.
BB: Since I’m on the planet, HTRAE, I decided to read d.c.. scot’s manuscripts in reverse order. That was almost as confusing as listening to Mockingjay on shuffle! This is especially true since d.c. hasn’t finished the last two manuscripts in the series. I do see another series coming, though.
Let’s see, in the last book, we learn who Miko’s biological father is. He's also the great uncle of Nadine Vasquez-White. That would also make him J.R. Logan’s biological great uncle, along with his twin brothers Mark and Micah. That would make Miko Nadine’s blood uncle.
Hmm. How does John Riley Logan from Precision: A Crime of Passion fit into this picture? And what about his three wives? Where do they fit in? Well, two of them died in the first book, but Janice, his first wife, is still alive. So, if she’s such a crack shot with a rifle and a handgun, why doesn’t the FBI, the CIA, or one of the two most powerful cartels in the western hemisphere hire her to be their sniper? I see some plot twists coming in the last two books.
Meanwhile, on planet Earth
d.: What are you doing on your week off from work, Cal.E.?
C.: I’m relaxing, enjoying some catnip and trying to watch some movies. Why?
d.: I was just wondering. I’m trying to write, but I seem to have a case of writer’s block. Would you like to go do something?
C.: Like what?
d.: Well, physical activity usually helps me get rid of my writer’s block. It’s too cold to swim, and my bike needs to be repaired. Maybe we could go for a run.
C.: You’re asking a cat to run, when she’s not being chased by a predator? I think I’ll pass on that one, d.c.
d.: Okay, maybe we could go bowling.
C.: The smallest ball weighs as much as I do, and I could get my claws caught in the finger holes. Then, I’d be rolling down the lane, being steamrolled by the ball, like a cartoon character. Are you trying to get me killed, d.c.?
d.: Well, do you want to go see a movie, then?
C.: I can do that sitting on Mom and Dad’s couch! Why don’t you come over here, and we can watch a movie on T.V. and veg out.
d.: That’s okay, Cal.E. I guess talking to you did the trick. I just got an inspirational thought for my manuscript. I need to go write down what I’m thinking before I forget what it is.
C.: Yes, d.c., you’d better do that. TTYL.
d.: Yes, Cal.E. I will talk to you later.
