Still Waters is my newest novel. The illustration was done by the talented Manga artist ANZU. She has really done a great job depicting the relationship between Charlie and Yoshi. I came up with this story some time ago, during a very hot Mississippi summer I spent with my two beloved German Shepherd Dogs, Arshak and Ramses, on our farm. The summers in Mississippi are humid and hot, just like in Japan. Ramses was my model for Charlie, a guy who never let anybody say no to him, and who lives to run, jump into dirty bodies of water, and to love with all his heart. That is why I dedicated the story to him. Ramses was killed later by a person very much like the villain Perry, in my story. In Still Waters, however, he lives to defeat all obstacles and he gets his man, Yoshi. My heart still aches for Ramses, and I hope he will read this in his doggy heaven and laugh his fool head off. I want to remember him like that. By the way, my house sounds like a looney bin because we are possessed. Yes, my partner and I are mediums, so we do understand each other. Even our dogs, we are convinced, talk through us, because they are not really dogs, but spirits who found no other way to speak other than to take up residence with mediums. Ramses had a dumb Southern accent. He always complained that he’d lent $42. to Arshak some time ago while drunk at a bar. Arshak never paid him back. Arshak is a Medieval German noble who can’t get over himself. He can’t remember the $42. incident, however. I am sure Ramses will return, but I don’t know when.
To be fair, I have to admit that I don’t write everything I publish under my name. Sometimes I take notes for the various ghosts and spirits. The deal is that they get their stories told. I think that is fair. I mean, nobody is going to accept a story from, say, a fat, balding Italian middle-aged guy who died in 1936 when he fell off a fire-escape in New York City as he flashed a woman walking by! Yet he did have a few interesting stories. .
