One stormy day …

Decided to make Laurence Shames the second in my Discover mystery writers series on HubPages. HubPages added a nice feature that allows you to group selected HubPages. Then when you are on one of the pages in your group, there is a pull down list of other group pages. Click and link. Neat!

Laurence Shames seems to be finished with his Key West series, and me I’ve just discovered him. Funny books. I don’t watch the TV series “Lost”, but might have to read the book. Shames wrote a tie-in book, “Bad Twin”. It was done under a pseudonym, Gary Troup. Shames is an experienced ghost writer, but this time the ghost has been un-sheeted quickly.

While researching Shames, I happened on a graphic of my favorite Shames’ character, Bert the Shirt. Surprised to see it was done by Jeff MacNelly. MacNelly drew “Shoe”, one of my favorite modern strips.
