This mystery takes place at a Comic-Con, namely the first southern Oregon has seen in a few years.  Who&#8217;s the headliner at the convention?  None other than a good friend of mine, actor <strong>Michael Biehn<\/strong>.  I thought it might be fun to have Zack and the gang meet up with the celebrity and help solve a crime that has befallen Michael, namely the theft of the plasma rifle he used in <em>Aliens<\/em>.  Well, after doing some research online, I realized that I had better reach out to Michael first, before I started writing.  Clearly, since I just finished the story, he said yes.  Actually, he really loved the idea of being in a book, and agreed to write a Foreword to the story.  This title is the second <strong><em>Corgi Case Files<\/em><\/strong> adventure I&#8217;ve finished that hasn&#8217;t been published.  The next, due out next month, I believe, is <em><strong>Case of the Ice Cream Crime<\/strong><\/em>.  This one, the <em><strong>Hobbit Heist<\/strong><\/em>, will more than likely be scheduled for a Fall release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s next?  Well, currently on my plate is to finish the edits for <strong><em>ToL4<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Thoughts for a Portal<\/em><\/strong>.  My publisher is in the midst of going through all my fantasies and polishing them up for re-release.  New covers, new editing, and new promos are in the works for all of them.  The <strong><em>Bakkian Chronicles<\/em><\/strong> were first, and have been cleaned up and given new covers.  The first five <em><strong>Tales of Lentari<\/strong><\/em> titles will be released this summer, so I&#8217;ve got to get going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up for me is a return trip to the <em><strong>Tales of Lentari<\/strong><\/em> series.  <em><strong>Blast from the Past (ToL10)<\/strong><\/em> is slated for a Fall\/Winter release, and then it&#8217;ll be back to <em><strong>Andela<\/strong><\/em> for Nuri&#8217;s tale in <strong><em>Clear the Water (DoA3)<\/em><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Busy, busy, busy!  Hope everyone is having a great Spring!  Be safe and happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just yesterday, I put the finishing touches on Case of the Hobbit Heist (CCF#19).
