JACK THE TRIPPER - Hot Off the Press

Should anyone care to read the latest Jack Eddy story, it will be available in early April. You may find a copy at a newstand or some chain book stores or by ordering from Dell. The story is easier to find because it's the first one in the magazine. Here's the hook:

I heard yelling behind me so I turned to look and saw a little runt being chased along the Main Street sidewalk by a beefy character, a King Kong without fur. People were leaping aside, some shouting in protest, while the little guy was crying out, “Please, Wally, please have mercy! For God’s sake, Wally, have mercy!”

This was such a hot news flash that I posted it twice, then deleted this one. I have nothing more to say except . . . never mind.

Very cool! So, do you frame or otherwise display such covers?

No. A few are posted on my website, though.

There is one strange thing about this story: it was written 14 months ago and that was before anyone heard of Bernard Madoff. As it centers on a ponzi scheme, some people will think the idea came from his story.

I think it's great if they think it came from Madoff. Whatever gives the story hype............I never worry about a story's inspiration; I enjoy a good story for itself.

Looks like a good story, Dick. I think you should frame the covers and line your hallway with them.

Only with the sexy ones. This one, Step Into My Parlor, was about a preacher. What would it have been like if it featured a dance hall girl?

I'll be looking for a copy. Probably have to venture closer to L.A. or Newport Beach for larger chain stores. Our locals are smaller and don't carry as many magazine titles. A subscription seems to be the only way to get copies from the publisher. Not really a bad idea since they obviously publish the right stuff. Congrats on your stories.
