And how long before the first movie about the Ukraine invasion? Its sad that Bruce Willis won’t be able to play the lead. But have a Happy Easter anyway – He is Risen!
Not to go throwing realism into all this, but successful adventure novels generally start off with a lot of action. The plot comes later, but the first chapter starts with a bang — often a literal one.
Bond movies used to follow this rule, too. The first few minutes of the film had Bond quickly finishing another adventure in a big action sequence. Then he’d go visit headquarters and get his next mission.
What I’m saying here is that Jeff’s publisher isn’t criticizing him. Or she shouldn’t be. That’s a strong opening for his type of novel.
Perfect time for Jeff to swoop in and save everyone in Ukraine and kill Russian bad guys. As if. I wish it was possible, but I seem to think Jeff might not be up to it.
Maybe this is an excellent time for all the North Americans with automatic weapons and ammunition to donate them to Ukraine for defensive use, instead of using them to kill locals.
Has Jeff ever been portrayed as seeming even a tiny bit like a real human being? Does he have an actual personality? He just always comes across to me as a total poser.

And they say print is dead! No, it’s just the people in print.

His new book is probably the Rascal fighting the Russians in Ukraine.

That would be a logical assumption.

At that rate, half the Russian Army will have been wiped out by the end of the book.

Lumberjack Special? Did we wander into a Cracker Barrel by mistake?

The publisher doesn’t seem to take Jeff’s oeuvre very seriously.
I wonder how much he has to pay her to print it.

Oh, go for the Lumberjack Special, Rick!!
You only live once!!
Happy Easter.

Moral clarity. Something that is lacking in many places.

I see he has dropped the ‘Red’ part of his name. Probably wise…..

There are actually plenty of MAGoos who are siding with America’s friend and ally Vlad Putin against the Nazis in Ukraine.

For one, Jeffrey Epstein would have been interesting

When people disparaged Joanie’s child rearing by saying that Jeff was a “loser” I remember pointing out he was surprisingly successful.
