“That’s when a shadow came over the table. The shadow was so big you could almost hear the table creak under its weight. It was like having an indoor eclipse. We had been approached by someone whom I could only describe as the fattest individual I had ever seen. I have never been one to make fun of the adiposily overadvantaged, but that is what this person was. Probably”

Patrick Thomas Hi Katy - thanks so much for your kind words. There are indeed more Murphy's Lore books both in the works and planned. I have sent you a PM with details.


message 1: by Katy

Katy I am almost finished with the books by you that I currently have (tho most of the rest are on my wishlist). I am wondering what became of Partners in Crime? Every one of your books lists it as forthcoming or in such a way to appear it was published. And will there be more Murphy books? There is mention early in Startenders (view spoiler), a story that wasn't in any of the books. I do hope that story will be told! Feel free to answer me through private message so as to avoid spoilers. I would have sent you a PM, but didn't see a link to do so! Thanks for all the entertainment and do please hurry with any new books. I do have cancer, you know!
