Sunday is for beginnings, when we take a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker™. SuperBowl today! I’ve written about football from time to time, but never more so than in the YA novel REALITY CHECK (an Edgar winner, just sayin’) which begins:
“Except for football Fridays, Cody Laredo’s favorite day of the school year was always the last.”

(There’s also football in BARK TO THE FUTURE, a Chet and Bernie mystery currently on digital sale – $2.99! – and in BEHIND THE CURTAIN, book 2 in my Echo Falls trilogy for younger readers. Also, I believe, going way back to HARD RAIN.)
