My daughter Evie would have turned 23 today. In some alternate universe, she’s telling me all about her recent adventures over a big basket of crab fries. I miss her so much.
Made it back to the boat yesterday, 50 years later. More details to come.

Just left a matinee screening of OBSESSION, and it is so much fucked-up fun. Clever, funny, gory, and at times, super cringey-tense. Bring a date! Or... maybe not.
How many mystery writers have portrayed their own series hero in a photo spread for a national magazine? Leslie Charteris (as The Saint) might be the only one!
