In Houston for the day job, I went back to visit my old house and primary school from when my dad had a sabbatical at Rice University. Fleming park is much smaller than I remember but the fire ants are still there! Highlight was a full Tex-Mex with Theresa and Bhopal expert Kenneth Bloch – plans afoot for a new book.

Celebrating the re-issue of the Jaq Silver thriller quartet – I`ll send a book anywhere in the world to the first person to correctly identify the exact location of the photo(s) after each book title.
Be specific – the country alone is not enough.
Good luck!
