By an amazing coincidence to my mind the two worst eBay culprits for fake letters and signatures are both selling the same fake letter.
cavorite51 fake
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Letter-Signed-b ... tible?hash=item2eaa2d3875
classic_art_uk fake
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A-TOLKIEN-SIGNE ... tible?hash=item439c045ad6
It also looks like Higgins has turned into Mrs Wilding as we now have two very bad fake letters to her as well.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Letter-Signed-b ... tible?hash=item2eaa2d36c9
I just noticed this as well, nothing to do with Tolkien (like all these letters really), but probably by the same individual as above.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IAN-FLEMING-SIG ... tible?hash=item439c3c0fcd
The address is not overly helpful in the letter, I don't know how anyone could deliver to that address as it is too vague, but if you look at the bottom of the letter, the phone number is really strange (Telephone Terminus 1234). Terminus is the end of the line, usually a bus garage or railway station not someone's house.

That fake item sold for $305.
I'd really like to see something done this year about fake signatures and letters on eBay as it appears to be so easy for sellers to knock up an item and find gullible and naive buyers for it.
This seller pretends to have three Tolkien signed letters all to different people for sale, one is a new fake, but the other two fakes have already been discussed, yet eBay does nothing about this (they are just interested in their commission from the sales).

Tolkien Research 2009 ["This year's findings in Tolkien Studies from eBay"]
2006/6/5 22:04
From Essex, England
In this article I aim to discuss an area of Tolkien research that has not been given the attention it deserves by traditional Tolkien scholars such as Findegil.
After doing "a very deep study" I present "This year's findings in Tolkien Studies from eBay". I intend to stick to the principles of eBay and avoid any verifiable facts, documentation, references, provenance, proof, etc. as it just gets in the way.
1 – Distrust of the Royal Mail
We found out that for a period of Tolkien's life he choose to turn his back on the traditional and well-served method of writing letters i.e. putting them in an envelope and posting them. Possibly he developed a fear of post boxes and chose instead to leave them in stranger's lofts or attics. There is also evidence that other authors and celebrities such as T.E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and C.S. Lewis were also doing the same thing, so there was a chance that the letters could cross if both parties picked the same loft to leave them in.
I am very glad that Tolkien ended this practice for at least the 354 letters that were published by Humphrey Carpenter. I am sure that Humphrey would have found the job much harder if he had to inspect all the UK lofts and attics to find the letters.
2 – Real and Imaginary Friends
Tolkien as we all know had a fantastic imagination with which he created his "legendarium". He also used his imagination to invent a special Doctor friend called "Higgins". Tolkien did correspond with real Doctor's but he also liked to type letters to his imaginary friend "Higgins". Possibly, he was also drunk while typing these letters to his real and imaginary friends as his typing was appalling and he forgot how to spell his close friends names.
We are also shown a preference for leaving letters to "Higgins" in loft's in the Bournemouth area of England.
3 - Blue signatures
Again for Tolkien's special friends (either real or imaginary), Tolkien used a special blue ink pen to sign his typed letters. It appears that he was concerned at running out of his special blue ink in the pen so always typed these letters and then signed them. In every case though they were always left in a loft, never posted.
4 - Time Travel
It came out this year, though sadly not on a reliable site like eBay, that Tolkien and Lewis were looking to collaborate on a story about Time Travel. We have now discovered that Tolkien time travelled from the 1960's to the 1970's in order to get a single sheet of paper to type a letter destined for yet another loft.
I am looking forward to finding out how Tolkien did this, as he forgot to include details in the letter.
What new revelations will be thrown up by eBay in the next year, to be included in the 2010 studies? One real area of concern is, Was Tolkien breaking into stranger's houses in order to leave signed letters and books? eBay strongly suggests he was and we know that he has written a book which starred a burglar.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Dr Trotter (PHD, University of eBay) (as real a doctor as "Higgins")

Calling you an idiot is not name calling, just stating the fact, coffeefien39
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Great summary from alpha, sternbeachlime. Cpst reached a plateou, also known as Nash equilibrium whereby loss of $6.5 million per quarter is the best they can do. That makes for cpst annual loss of $26 million, which precipitates further dilutions. Cpst still has 186 million shares shelf piggy bank to last another 7 years of fun for cpst traders and shorters.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Cpst will be overvalued even at 17 cents a share. Do not fool yourself, sgnow
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Cpst selling sharply on high volume ahead of Conference means only one thing: The leak from inside is spreading rapidly.

"If the earnings report shows I'm out of line I'll shut up." No need to upstage the current board drama queen, bandie, bluehorseshoelovespmcs
Sentiment: Strong Sell
"Let cpst idiots keep holding crapstone." I will support that notion.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
"Then bam! the bottom falls out of the share price once again." It need not be that way, bluehorseshoelovespmcs. Actually cpst selling is under way right now without any of this board long holders noticing anything. The best way for them to be: Unaware while being lead to the slaughter.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Cpst buyers are waiting for cpst to go lower, while cpst sellers want it to go up. Cpst needs some very good news to re-start the selling spree.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Let,s hope that "If all goes well for the report, expect a quick move to 1.20's - 1.30's, kevinreuter890 • 26 minutes ago" is going to happen. As we all know, cpst always under-promises and over-delivers.
hapebuda cpst lore goes back to March 18 2014 when he got his hands full of cpst at $ 2.38 a share..
It is cpst buyers like hapebuda to make my game profitable.
I believe you are right, ronjp2. "I believe CPST will get down to .60 - .70 in December, then it should be bought for a selling price of around 1.10 - 1.20. The current cpst best is 88 cents. At 56 cents I will be a buyer too. But there will be many cpst bounces I am planning to partake in as I see fit. Cpst has been a good and predictable money maker for me.
I hope you are right, kevin. Not enough sellers at 87 cents. Cpst 6 insiders bought about 30,000 cpst shares on Sept 2 2014 at 1.23 to inspire confidence. Cpst con game par excellance.

My definition of being long in cpst is 5 days. If you have not made any money during one trading week, bail out and wait for the next leg of cpst trajectory. Especially now. You can do what you want. It is your money to win or lose. Cpst will assure you of their long-range goodwill toward cpst shareholders, and stab you in the back by diluting whenever cpst needs money from you. And cpst historically diluted $30 million a year to match their money needs. You can ignore or not this message. But you have been warned, and remember that.
That is immaterial what cpst is now. But one thing is sure: Cpst is not a buy at this level. I am not buying now. I just made some good change on cpst and will stay happy until another cpst buying opportunity shows up. Today's trading at barely 1/2 normal volume is show lack of conviction. NB, I never lost money in CPST, and that gives me enough conviction I am not going to get carried away by any euphoria that fizzles out as soon as enough cpst buyer's money has been collected and put to good use by people who know their stuff.
Nice pump, Turnip.
No guesses are necessary. Cpst bounce is over.

"Great Series..."
Normally, I just stick with the authors that I am familiar with and love. I am a huge fan of Nelson DeMille, Lee Child, Vince Flynn and John Grisham. In between their books, I will try a new author, however I rarely invest in a new series. I started this series a few weeks ago because nothing new from my favorite authors was available. I started from the beginning and am now on book six. Mercy Falls is book five. I am sure that I will get them all because I am now invested in Cork and his family.
Something to be said about starting a series that has so many books already published, is that you can go from one book right on to the next without that long wait in between. I as so glad that I gave this author a chance. I am surprised that more people haven't purchased these books. I love them
"This book kept me guessing..."
One of the best things about a good mystery is trying to figure out "who done it." Surprise endings are my favorite and I was surprised. I thought that I had it figured out and the book let me think that I got it right. Then "SURPRISE!" I was wrong. Good one for sure. I have all of the books written by Gillian Flynn and I have enjoyed them all. I am looking forward to the next book. It is definitely worth the time and the credit. Enjoy!
"Keeps you interested throughout..."
Dark Places held my interest through every chapter. The ending was a surprise and that always pleases me in a novel. In my humble opinion, this book is well written and well narrated. It definitely is worth the credit and the time.
"This is a family history..."
You get to know generations of this family and it solves a mystery, that leaves you guessing until the very end. It is a family with many secrets that leave you guessing... It was worth my time and credit. I am looking forward to another book by Laura Lippman.
"I was so excited..."
A new Jack Reacher novel is just what I needed, but I kept falling asleep while listening to it. What is wrong with me? I thought it was me and I was getting bored with Reacher. I guess that by reading the other reviews that I am not alone in the observation that this book was boring. I hate to even utter the words boring in relation to a Reacher adventure. I will continue to buy the Reacher series and hopefully the next one is back to his "edge of my seat" "can't put it down" "finished it in as soon as possible" book.
"I love this series..."
I have been waiting anxiously for the next book in the Andy Carpenter series and I nearly missed it. It was usually in the Mystery/Legal category. I ran out of books to listen to so I happened to go to Mystery/Suspense (a category I do not often visit) and there is was! I love Grover Gardner as the narrator. To me he is Andy. There is always some humor intermixed in these books and I appreciate that aspect very much. This series is candy to me...
Although there is violence in this book, it is not graphic. Give this series a try... enjoy.
"Walt Longmire has a laid back demeanor..."
I love Walt Longmire's laid back demeanor. He always seems to figure things out in a atypical fashion. This characteristic tends to make you love him. The books are always an adventure for sure. I am listening to these out of order, which is something that I do not normally do. However, it has not taken away from my enjoyment. I will eventually get them all and go back and listen to them in order. I am indeed entertained by this series.
"I hope that more is to come"
I am so happy that I took the chance on this series... although at times I have trouble with the English accents.
Great character development, terrific mystery and all together a series that makes me just want more.
You will not be sorry to get this book and "The Cuckoos Calling" (which is the first installment) Enjoy!
"This series is amazing..."
I love that I am getting a history lesson with each book in this series. It is well written and narrated. The author takes you along on the adventures of Bernie Gunther. I will get the next book for sure. Enjoy.
"Good mystery and a bit of history as a bonus"
Not knowing much about the 1600s, this was a good insight into that era. I am relying of course on the author's research, which seems to me entirely believable. The characters are well developed and likable. I have listened to all the books in this series and I recommend them. If you are a mystery lover as I am, it is a departure from the modern detective novels but make no mistake, it is a well crafted mystery series. Worth the credit and the time. Enjoy.
"Plenty of action and adventure in this one!"
I really enjoyed this book, and all of the tight spots. I must say that in the Will Robie series, so far this is my favorite. I am anxiously waiting to see what adventure is going to happen next. Well worth the credit and the time. If you like the Mitch Rapp series, you will like this one. Enjoy...

You could do some damage with that. Very nice!
That's a handsome piece of work. I particularly like the right-angle spacers.
I use the same ^
There is a huge difference in steel. For sure you need to go with Miyabi. MC66 powder steel is indeed ZDP189 and this is great steel.

Health officials and the U.S. government are scrambling to contain the disease, which, in the United States, has killed one man and infected a handful of others. But statistically speaking, people would be far better off worrying about all the other risks that are, in some cases, thousands of times more likely to kill you or your loved ones. Yes, Ebola is dangerous. However, it is quite rare everywhere except in West Africa. Here's a number of more mundane things that kill legions of people annually, but get little mention on the nightly news.

The cover art to Big Boi's new Sir Luscious Left Foot album has been released on the Internet.
The image landed online late Thursday (May 27) night.
Kind of disappointed with this. Seems really simple, but maybe there is some underlying theme that I just don't know about. Navjosh Update: High Resolution artwork plus album photo shoot with Jonathan Mannion are up. (Hip Hop N More)
Boi recently said he is looking to continue releasing more new music following the album release.
"Yeah…I just like to keep recording, man. In the meanwhile, while we try to piece together the 'Kast record and see which records we're gonna use for the 'Kast album, I just been steadily recording records. For this album right here I recorded maybe 30-something, almost 40 records… I'm piecing together the next album too, the follow-up to Lucious Left Foot…Lucious Left Foot, Andre 3000, then the 'Kast record, and then we'll see what's gonna happen after that…Hey man, gotta keep recording. It's all about spreading the love and really saturating the Funk into the system. That's what we specialize in." (Hip Hop DX)
The rapper recently talked about his new music video for his single "Shutterbug."
"It's basically a cut that's all about capturing the moment, whether it be your kid's first steps or you got a Polaroid and you with your lady somewhere," Big Boi explained to MTV News from the Atlanta set of the song's video. "It's about capturing the moment and getting them good times. When you look at certain photos, it takes you back to the moment, and that's what it's about. It's a funky, get-down, slap-your-sister-in-the-mouth jam." (MTV)
He also explained how Scott Storch came to be a part of the song.
"I flew down to Miami for a meeting with Scott Storch," said Big Boi. "Scott said that he had a beat for me that he was sitting on for a few years. He played it, it was bananas. I brought it back to Atlanta, put all that funk on it; bringing my keyboard players in, my guitar players in and then commenced to lyrical destruction. I wanted this song the capture the good times of getting back to emceeing, real lyrical content and having fun. That's what we do and what we specialize in. The music has always been funk, bass, that Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. We're bringing it back to the essence." (All Hip Hop)
Sir Luscious is scheduled to drop Tuesday, July 6th.

Restored 'South Pacific' sails into Seattle
Director Bartlett Sher has a homecoming with touring production of "South Pacific," winner of the Tony for best musical revival on Broadway.
Seattle Times theater critic
'South Pacific'Opens Sunday, runs Tuesdays-Sundays through Feb. 21, 5th Avenue Theatre, 1308 Fifth Ave., Seattle; $22-$93 (206-625-1900 or www.5thavenue.org).
From the first bars of the love song "Some Enchanted Evening," the 1949 musical "South Pacific" sweeps you into one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's finest Broadway offerings.
And one hard to fully realize, without: a) an operatic baritone with sex appeal; b) an actress- singer who makes American "cockeyed optimism" palatable; and c) a director who imbues the show with the right sense of time (World War II), place (far-flung Pacific island) and cultural friction propelling the superb score.
Bartlett Sher, who stepped down as head of Seattle's Intiman Theatre in December, is the director who succeeded on all fronts with his widely hailed Broadway staging of "South Pacific."
Justly rewarded with one of the revival's seven 2008 Tony Awards, Sher is also "totally 100 percent involved" in the national tour version opening at the 5th Avenue Theatre on Sunday. It will be a heady Seattle homecoming for Sher: the "South Pacific" debut, preceded by a Saturday-night gala, celebrating his decadelong tenure as Intiman's artistic director.
Sher recently reflected on his ties to Seattle and his invigoration of "South Pacific."
The Broadway classic was based by composer Rodgers, and lyricist Hammerstein (who wrote its book with director Josh Logan), on material in James Michener's "Tales of the South Pacific."
Michener's Pulitzer Prize- winning collection of stories drew on his experiences as a World War II naval officer on Espiritu Santo (now called Vanuatu), in the New Hebrides Islands.
The musical revolves around "hick" naval nurse Nellie Forbush (played here by Carmen Cusack), and hardened naval pilot Joe Cable (Anderson Davis), whose prejudices are challenged by love affairs — Nellie's with dashing French planter Emile De Becque (Rod Gilfry), and Joe's with a "Bali Hai" native girl, Liat (Sumie Maeda).
"The material makes more sense in some ways now, because we know much more about what war does to people, and how racism works," Sher suggested.
"Joe flew missions for 14 months, in the worst fighting of the war in that area. Clearly he has some kind of post-traumatic stress that leads him to seek solace with Liat. Nellie, from Arkansas, probably never would have met a Frenchman with biracial children, except in the war."
Though equipped with more standard Broadway numbers (the exuberant "I'm In Love With a Wonderful Guy," "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame") the show was prescient in examining ingrained American bigotry, most hauntingly in the song "You've Got to Be Taught."
Sher was also allowed to restore in full a meaningful exchange between Nellie and Cable discussing the prejudice in their backgrounds. And the staging subtly alludes to the segregation of troops in the U.S. forces.
Sher also wanted actors with onstage romantic chemistry to play Nellie and Emile. (It was lacking, reportedly, between original co-stars Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza.)
"That love relationship is at the center of the show, it's what the plot hangs on," Sher stressed. "It has to feel intimate and real, with romantic stakes so high, it changes Nellie."
Sher's staging succeeds, opines 5th Avenue head David Armstrong, because the director gave every character and scene "the full dramatic impact that was inherent in the material, and simply by doing this ... he created this wonderfully dynamic and moving production." For the tour, Sher chose Grammy-nominated opera singer Gilfry and "Wicked" veteran Cusack for roles filled at Lincoln Center by the dashing Brazilian baritone Paolo Szot, a Tony honoree, and marvelous Kelli O'Hara, previously a star of "Light in the Piazza." (Composed by Seattle resident Adam Guettel, "Piazza" was premiered by Sher at Intiman, and also succeeded on Broadway.)
O'Hara will concertize at Intiman's "Bash for Bart" on Saturday, which benefits the theater's new Bartlett Sher Artistic Fund. Former Seattle acting mainstay Laurence Ballard (now teaching at Georgia's Savannah College of Art and Design) emcees.
Sher is much in demand on Broadway and the international opera circuit. Next up is directing a new musical based on Pedro Almodóvar's film, "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," for Lincoln Center Theatre (where Sher is resident director).
Though he drew local criticism for being an absentee honcho in his last years at Intiman, Sher has only positive things to say about the city where he developed such Intiman world premieres as "A Light in the Piazza," "Nickel and Dimed" and "The Singing Forest."
"My family and I miss Seattle every day, we loved it here," he stressed."It's a mixed blessing to be in New York. I feel very lucky to do what I'm doing, but a substantial part of my life and work have been here."
When time allows, Sher wants to direct again at Intiman, under new artistic head Kate Whoriskey's watch. If so, he may well tackle a Shakespeare play.
"I haven't done 'King Lear,' 'Hamlet,' 'Henry IV' yet ... some of the big ones," he mused. "Now that I've directed operas and musicals too, I know those plays are the hardest to do — by far."

Turtle Island, or Gueishan, in Yilan County, lies 10 kilometers off Taiwan's northeastern coast in the Pacific Ocean. The island is named after the turtle-like shape of its outline. With a land area of 2.8 square kilometers and a coastline nine kilometers in length, Gueishan first became inhabited in the 1850s. Civilian residents were moved off the island in 1977 for military reasons, and it was not until 2000 that the island was opened to the public as an ecotourism destination.

MONTREAL — When she arrived at Montreal's Windsor Station from her hometown of New York City in 1950, Lida Moser was an ambitious 30-year-old freelance photographer sent by Vogue Magazine to explore Canada, a mysterious, foreign land to most Americans at the time.
What she managed to produce that summer was later widely hailed as a masterful collection of photos documenting postwar, pre-Quiet Revolution Quebec, at the cusp of its transition from a rural to urban society.
Moser, who died Tuesday in Washington at 94, became a widely respected American photojournalist, exhibiting her work internationally with permanent collections in Quebec, Ottawa, Scotland, London, and Washington, D.C. She also published several books of her photographs and on photography techniques, and wrote columns and articles for such publications as the New York Times.
Gabor Szilasi, one of Quebec's most distinguished photographers, describes Moser's work as important and honest.
"I really believe in her photos. They are very honest. She doesn't try to change reality. Each photograph is interpreted simply, through the choice of her subjects and her framing."
Moser herself was a character, Szilasi said, who could be both opinionated and warm.
"We stayed in her studio once, my wife and daughter and I, on 57th St. in New York in the late 1970s. ... I remember that she was quite opinionated, expressing in a very direct way, strongly, her opinions. But also very warm and human."
Montreal artist and Concordia Fine Arts professor François Morelli was a longtime friend of Moser's. He remembers Moser telling him how impressed she was by Montreal back in 1950.
"She told me she didn't know what Montreal or Quebec or Canada was," Morelli said.
"She was expecting to arrive in Montreal into a cloistered society and she jokingly said, 'You know, like the Amish ...'. But she got out at the train station, walked onto the street and saw some of what she described as 'the most elegantly dressed men and women I'd ever seen in my life and I realized I was basically in a version of New York, only much more European.' "
Moser always had a gift for spotting and connecting with the right people, Morelli said. Soon after arriving in Montreal, she introduced herself to a dapper looking gentleman named Paul Gouin, simply because she thought he looked important.
In fact, Gouin happened to be the son of one Quebec premier (Lomer Gouin) and grandson of another (Honoré Mercier), and an influential politician in his own right. As a cultural adviser to the government at the time, Gouin told Moser he was planning a trip across the province that summer to collect sculptures for an exhibit in Sweden.
Without skipping a beat, Moser invited herself along to photograph the journey. As it happened, Gouin would be travelling with two other prominent Quebecers: poet and folklorist Félix-Antoine Savard, and ethnographer Luc Lacourcière.
Moser didn't speak a word of French at the time, but for a month and a half, she criss-crossed the province with what she called "these three tremendous ambassadors opening doors for me everywhere I went." She photographed children, actors, artists, storytellers, fishermen and farmers from Charlevoix to Chaudière-Appalaches, across the Gaspé Peninsula and in the Lower St. Lawrence.
The photo collection was turned into a book in 1982 called "Québec à l'été 1950" (Quebec in the summer of 1950), written by Roch Carrier (author of The Hockey Sweater) and featuring a glowing preface by then-premier René Lévesque.
"Lévesque really saw these as significant documents showing a pivotal moment in Quebec's transition from rural to urban and industrial," Morelli said.
The McCord Museum in Montreal exhibited photos from Moser's Summer of 1950 collection in 1972 and again in 1982.
Moser had a certain respect and tenderness for her subjects. Her photographs speak eloquently of the economic situation of Quebec's francophone labourers and farmers in the mid-20th century, which is partly why Quebec curators see it as historically and politically important.
In an interview in Le Devoir in 2004, she said, "At school, the teachers told us clearly that we should not learn French in Quebec because you would speak a funny kind of French. I am Jewish, so I knew right away that this was a form of propaganda. And I therefore felt a deep sympathy for this people, about whom we knew nothing, except maybe the mounted police, Hudson's Bay, and Wilfrid Pelletier."
Several of Moser's Summer of 1950 photos were published in the American and British versions of Vogue Magazine, as well as in the New York Times. Moser returned to Quebec a year later and convinced curators in Quebec City to let her photograph schoolchildren holding many of the sculpture pieces which Gouin had collected the summer before.
"She was doing what I would call a dynamic relational experience with her subjects; it was children holding carvings of angels, and other objects normally found only in churches," Morelli said.
Moser got her start in photography by landing an apprenticeship through a family friend with Berenice Abbott, a New York City photographer who had made her name in Paris in the 1920s. Abbott hired Moser to archive her collection of photographs by a famous French photographer Eugène Atget.
Inspired by Atget's "true life" photos of the people and streets of Paris, Moser began taking a similar style of photos in New York. She joined the Photo League, a co-operative of photographers that included some of the most famous photographers of mid-20th century America, and those connections helped her to get work with glossy magazines, like Vogue, Look and Harper's Bazaar. She travelled to Scotland in 1949 on assignment to photograph prominent artists and authors, and was then sent to Canada the following year "to shoot whatever I wanted," she told a Washington, D.C., weekly. That project became the collection for which Moser is perhaps best known.
Moser's work will be exhibited next year at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in Québec City from Feb. 19 to May 10.

Short Trip HomePosted by Michael Koryta, June 22, 2010 11:20 pm No Comments Filed under: Original Essays.
I doubt that Joshua Bell, when he laid bow to string to perform his stunning violin part on the song "Short Trip Home," had any thoughts of an orphaned Depression-era prodigy playing in the lobby of a grand hotel, accompanied on piano by an evil man wearing a bowler hat. Such is the phantom world of inspiration: it's a personal thing, a matter of mood and moments.Such is the phantom world of inspiration: it's a personal thing, a matter of mood and moments.
Bell's song, the title track from his excellent album with Edgar Meyer, had a way of putting me in a storytelling mood, so much so that I'd often listen to it before writing, but I never expected I'd extract an entire novel from a strings piece that comes in at just under four minutes in length. It was a beautiful song, that was all, and I appreciated it for that.
The thing about an instrumental piece is that there are no lyrics to provide meaning; it's up to you to handle that, up to your imagination. "Short Trip Home," a melody inspired by early American folk music, was one that caught my imagination. It needed a story, I thought, and so — idly and without any conscious thought of a novel — I gave it one. I hit upon the image of a young boy in tattered clothes, playing an elegy for lost parents. I knew where he was playing: the West Baden Springs Hotel, once one of the world's renowned resorts, until the Depression came along and cleared out the high-rolling crowd. I knew why he was playing: for coins, and at the behest of a menacing man. That was all I had, but the image was vivid, and with it came questions: who was the boy, who was the man, how had the two fallen in together, and what would become of them?
It's from such questions that stories are born, at least in my experience, and it was from those questions that So Cold the River came into existence. For years I'd wanted to write a story set in the Springs Valley region of southwestern IndianaFor years I'd wanted to write a story set in the Springs Valley region of southwestern Indiana; the incredible hotels, the area's bizarre mineral water, and the guests who had passed through — from Al Capone and Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bing Crosby and Joe Louis — combined to offer an incredibly rich backdrop. I just couldn't come up with that tiny element of a novel that we in the business like to call plot. I've been told it's fairly critical.
Those few minutes of beautiful strings work on "Short Trip Home" provided the plot, first through the image, then through the questions that accompanied it. The circumstances seemed to call for a historical novel, but I was struck by the vividness with which I saw the scene, and hoped that readers might be also if it were presented as a vision from the past, a narrative within a narrative. A ghost story would capture the eerie qualities I'd always felt in the Springs Valley region, and it would allow me to wed two different eras in an organic fashion. It was worth a try, at least. I decided I'd write a bit and see how it felt…
Five hundred pages and a couple years later, I can say that it feels pretty great — I love this book, and I've never had such fun writing. I hope you'll have a chance to give it a look, and I also hope you'll have a chance to hear "Short Trip Home." Close your eyes and listen and tell me if you can picture the boy in the tattered clothing and the menacing man in the bowler hat. I know I can.
