  Yes, you. Before you begin reading _For Deader or Worse_ , you might be
  interested to know that there’s a new John Pickett short story available for
  free download. Chronologically, it falls between _Too Hot to Handel_ and _For
  Deader or Worse_ —in fact, it takes place about two days after _Too Hot to
  Handel_ ends—and although it’s certainly not necessary to read it in order to
  understand this book (it’s only about 2,000 words, or 7 typed double-spaced
  pages), it does offer readers a brief glimpse of what happens to the very
  newly married John and Julia after the last page of _Too Hot to Handel_ is
  turned. Download your free copy of “I’ll See You in My Dreams” in EPUB, MOBI,
