The ATV trundled into the yard, just in time to meet Bobby Clark trudging in from the Niniltna road. He was limping a little, one prosthesis looking a little bloody where it met his knee, and he was covered in dust and sweat. One hand held a big-ass gun, an automatic with an equally big-ass clip.
He halted. Kate let the four-wheeler roll to a stop. They stared at each other for a moment.
“You look peeved,” she said.
A fan contest is announced!
Alert readers will have noticed that I'm re-running "The History of Kate Shugak in 22 Objects" series on stabenow.com. I've even managed to keep all the original comments. Some are pretty funny and all of them are fun. I have the best fans.
This re-posting marathon is a run-up to selecting an object from No Fixed Line, the 22nd Kate Shugak novel. See below for details and prizes, all three of which include the fry bread recipe from Kate22 and the ever popular Friends of Mutt sticker.
How you win...
March 22: Go to stabenow.com and make a case for the Kate22 object of your choice in the comments section at the bottom of the post. Winners will be chosen on the strength of their argument. You have a week so make it good!
March 29: The winners will be announced in a post on stabenow.com. I will contact each winner for their snailmail address and have the prizes in the mail that day.
March 31: The winners will be announced again in March's Roadhouse Report.
After years of being available only in e...
...the first nine Kate Shugak novels are back in print! Very nice paperback editions with lovely cover art (the most Alaskan cover art my books have ever had*) published by those wonderful people at Head of Zeus.
*Will never forget or forgive the Bozo the Clown on the first edition hc of Liam1.
For the audiobook fans among you, this yesterday from Marguerite Gavin:
I sent final chapters in yesterday. Loved it as always!
That 'it' she refers to is Kate23, aka Not the Ones Dead. So it looks like a simultaneous publication across all editions on April 11th. Thank you, Marguerite and Head of Zeus!
