Saturday Special: Change Is In The Air

Change is in the air. Do you feel it? I mean that quite literally — central Florida is COVERED in pollen! Apparently spring took its cue from the calendar and arrived here in full force. Antihistamines to the rescue! Have the seasons started changing yet where you live?

In addition to the weather, several other changes are coming:

1. This week I blogged about MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa becoming home to eight KC-135 Stratotankers.  The topic came up because I’ve been researching MacDill for my next book.

2. If you received my NewsFlash! on March 23rd, you saw that I’m working on a new project! Most of the project is still under wraps, but we asked our subscribers a very important question. Did you vote? What? You’re not a NewsFlash! subscriber? You can fix that quickly — and you’ll be glad you did! CLICK HERE

3. This week The Twelve found out that readers pushed Deadly Dozen onto the USA Today BestSeller List for the 4th straight week. Thank you for being the best readers in the world!!!!!!

4. Check this out! Pre-orders are now open for the German edition of Don’t Know Jack, which means a new book cover! How cool is that?!

Until next time, steer clear of the pollen and don’t forget to subscribe to NewsFlash! so you’ll have a chance to let your vote count!

Revealing Fingerprints

109 years ago today, for the first time ever, fingerprint evidence was used in a high-profile murder case. A pair of shopkeepers in London — Thomas and Ann Farrow — were found beaten to death. Scotland Yard detected the motive to be robbery. By examining the Farrows’ cash box, they were able to pick out […]

More Stratotankers Coming To MacDill

Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That’s the message implied from an announcement that the Base will soon be adding eight Stratotankers to its fleet. Sounds impressive, right? But what’s a Stratotanker? Its full name is a KC-135 Stratotanker, and it’s an aircraft designed to refuel other planes, mid-air. It lies […]
