Four Fables
Fiction
The Killing Way by Tony Hays. Arthur is close to being elected supreme King of Britian but a murdered girl is blamed on Merlin. Mad Malgwyn, Arthur's the one armed scribe, is requested to clear Merlin. Malgwyn despises Arthur for rescuing him from a battlefield death.
Poison Flower by Thomas Perry. Does this guy write spy thrillers as well? Maybe that is another guy, Perry won an Edgar Award.
Weird Photo by Internet Serendipity. While searching for a photo of Perry with an Edgar this shot of Michael Chabon (by the Austin Statesman) appeared
The Thief by Clive Cussler and Justin Bell. More aquatic adventures.
Illusion by Frank Peretti. More suspense by Peretti. I assume this is a Christian themed novel like his previous ones.

Musical Interlude
"To keep a blog relevant you must keep it current."

Off a charity album, The Sun Came Out, available from the library.
