AFTER THREE YEARS OF QUIET IT HAS BEEN PICKING UP STEAM THESE LAST TWO YEARS; EXPERTS BLAME TRUMP, CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT:  The world’s tallest active geyser won’t stop erupting, and scientists don’t know why.

PERHAPS CHRISTMAS EVE ISN’T THE BEST TIME TO PUT OUT A FUNNY NOVEL, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GOING OKAY.  IT’S A SHORT NOVEL, ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF MY NORMAL NOVELS, AND NO I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT CAME FROM. MY HEAD IS A STRANGE PLACE:

Deep Pink.

Like all Private Detectives, Seamus Lebanon [Leb] Magis has often been told to go to Hell. He just never thought he’d actually have to go.
But when an old client asks him to investigate why Death Metal bands are dressing in pink – with butterfly mustache clips – and singing about puppies and kittens in a bad imitation of K-pop bands, Leb knows there’s something foul in the realm of music.
When the something grows to include the woman he fell in love with in kindergarten and a missing six-year-old girl, Leb climbs into his battered Suburban and like a knight of old goes forth to do battles with the legions of Hell.
This is when things become insane…. Or perhaps in the interest of truth we should say more insane.
