Trapper - The Cyber Snoop - BREAKING NEWS


Trapper – The Cyber Snoop

Breaking News – New Chapter Two for

 “Serial Doesn’t Start with a C”


How Maddy and Patty came to be known as “The Twins”




I was patrolling one of my favorite locations around noon today.  It‘s in the old part of the city, still, the most desired location to live in or been seen in for the trendy and young professionals.  I liked it because there were a number of bistros with outside seating, which also meant lots of young women. Most of them were more than happy to give a devilishly good-looking cat some loving, along with the occasional offering of food.

I slipped through the bars of the railing, not the least bit interested in the sparrows.  I had spotted my target for now and was hoping that I was in for a treat, and maybe even a good story.  I looked around just to make sure, but I couldn’t see either Jas or Street, so they must be home with Jim.  That’s okay by me, I’ll just have to suffer through getting all of the attention from three beautiful redheads. 

I worked my way through the maze of legs, and gently rubbed against Maggie’s leg. I felt her hand slip under my tummy, and as I let her lift me into her lap, I heard her say, “Girls, this is Trapper, he is Street-Fighter’s boy, and lives with our author. “

“Ohh he’s so cute.” Maddy quickly looked around and added, “I don’t see the author anywhere, does this guy come here on his own?”

“Yeah, he does, since they live just around the corner. Oh, and careful what you say, Trapper has his own by-line on our series blog. “

Patty reached across and patted my head, “So you are Trapper the Cyber Snoop?”

My answer was to lift mY head so that she could scratch me under my chin.  While at the same time I settled into Maggie’s lap and thought. You girls just talk, I’ll find a story in here somewhere. And what a story I got.


Maggie – “Girls did you get any more grief from that person that thought you were breaking the law?”

Maddy – “Thankfully no Maggie we didn’t. “

Patty – “They were satisfied after they read the letter the author sent them.”

Maddy – “Maggie thanks for getting my mother and the author back in touch. I understand she told him the full story, of how we came to be known as “The Twins”, even though we’re not related in any way.”
Maggie – “Glad I could help. You were such a great help in Malice, and from what I have heard, we are going to have some fun in book five as well.”

Patty – “Maggie, do you know how much of the story the author added to Chapter Two in Serial?”

Maggie – “Girls, he basically wrote a new Chapter Two, from the point where Mrs. Carson begins to tell me about you two girls.  It is really quite a story, and I think that the readers will like the change.  It is a touching story, and nobody will think that you are breaking the law now when they read the book.”

Maddy – “He didn’t change our characters’ or personalities did he?.”

Maggie – “Not at all, you’re still the same two girls that are so tightly bonded, that it would take a bomb to separate you. Plus, you’re both zany and crazy.”

Maddy/Patty (In Unison) – “Great, because that is exactly who we are.”

Trapper – Ah, now that was a very comfortable and profitable lunch. Oh, and I also learned that whatever you buy or read on Amazon Kindle, has the new chapter two in it, and the Paperback should be available today.  (The two bites of poached salmon that I had didn’t hurt either.)

Trapper - The Cyber Snoop - The Boss Needs Help...




Trapper, I need your help with something buddy.”

“Sure thing boss, all you have to do is ask.”







“Book 4 of the Jasper, Street-Fighter, and Me series has not taken off as I expected it to.  You know that it was a great big “fupah” by the group of us involved in selecting the title settled on M is for Malice.  Two of the three of us had never read any books by Sue Grafton, and I was completely unaware of her Alphabet Series.  The third member of the group simply forgot about that book.”

“I can’t argue with you there boss. So adding the “Revised Edition” to the title hasn’t really helped then.”

“No not really, I was checking on Amazon yesterday, and when I brought up the series, and then looked at M is for Malice, I saw that the only other book that people have looked at was Sue Grafton’s M is for Malice.  I had originally thought that the association might help me out, but I think that it has gone the other way.” Link to book on Amazon 

“So, are you thinking of changing the title to the book … Isn’t that a bit risky?”

“It does have its risks Trapper, but I am considering it.  My problem is that the letter “M” and the malice felt towards Maggie are central to the story.  I have a couple of ideas running around in my head.  What do you think? (“Malice Always Starts with M”) (Malice + M’s = Murder) (Malice & Murder both begin with M).”

“Damn Boss, I like all three of them. The first one ties into book 3 as does the story, and if you put Malice along with those M’s it definitely equals both murder and attempted murder.  There is no arguing with the logic of the last title. Hey, I just got an idea; let me put this out onto the web, with my Trapper the Cyber Snoop by-line.  Maybe we will get some votes one way or the other.”

“Go for it, Trapper!...”
