Friday 13! Unlucky for some reason. Anybody know offhand? Luck comes up from time to time in the Chet and Bernie mysteries. For those who don’t know here are the basics. Bernie’s a PI. Chet’s his canine partner. Chet narrates the stories but he’s NOT a talking dog. That opens up a lot of literary possibilities if I do say myself.
Back to luck. I’m now going to do something new, namely give a sneak peek at not the beginning but the very ending of CAT ON A HOT TIN WOOF, the next C&B. The series can be read in any order so why not preorder it so you’ll have it on pub day – April 14? (And feel free to share this post with anyone at all!)
And now, the ending (no spoiler alert necessary because it gives nothing away):
The stars shone down on us. We were lucky to have them. Were they lucky to have us? I couldn’t see why not.
One Comment on “Luck”
Greetings!
Friday the 13th is considered unlucky due to a combination of negative associations with the number 13 and the day Friday, both of which have historical roots in religious beliefs and folklore. The superstition is often linked to events like the Last Supper, where Judas, the 13th guest, betrayed Jesus, and the arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307.
Of course the stars are lucky to have Chet and Bernie…So are us readers! :^)
Create the best day!
