Since Ed Calkins doesn't have a social media presence except for the one I've given him, I passed along all the well wishes in an email.
Here is his response: "Thank to all. Avoid getting COVID-19. It's no fun."
Having worked through last weekend while fielding one emergency after another (and the unexpected death of a family friend), I spent a good chunk of the weekend working on other projects.
These projects included: editing for two clients, some editing on Ed's first BryonySeries novel Ruthless, a meeting with Timothy to work on the next book in The Adventures of Cornell Dyer series, and a little editing on the first book in the new BryonySeries trilogy Limbo: The Phoenix.
I missed this detail on the first pass of Ruthless but caught it this time.
Ed has written a character called Trudy, and Trudy (in her dream) is sitting in a decrepit bar talking to a character named Glorna, who will remind anyone who's read Staked! of John-Peter.
Glorna says he will be eighteen in two days and is dressed like a cowboy (because he likes westerns) so Trudy dubs him "Clint" (for Clint Eastwood).
Trudy is tells Glorna she is supposed to hang him for his crimes (except they share the same crime), and she's sorry she has to hang a kid.
Now once upon a time, back in 1990 when I was writing notes on Bryony, I had John-Peter die by hanging.
Coincidence?
