Starting "Sentiment, Inc."

"Sentiment, Inc."

Different, again. A contemporary short story about romantic relationships but with an sf premise to which the first attached cover image might give some clue although I am not going to read any further into it this evening and will probably not be on the computer tomorrow. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Here is yet another early short story with a remarkable number of cover illustrations as I might demonstrate.

I will shortly watch TV news. We have been without a TV for just over a year - until Mike, whom I have mentioned somewhere on this blog, fixed the aerial.

GK Chesterton's Father Brown was one of the many fictional detectives to come after Sherlock Holmes. A British TV adaptation of Brown has an offshoot, Sister Boniface, about a detective nun. She was on while I was posting about the science of Poul Anderson's "Security," an aspect of my immediate environment of which blog readers were obviously completely unaware!

I will return to The Hound Of The Baskervilles before retiring.

Laterz.

    A. Conan Doyle really jump started the mystery genre! Of UK writers I read the mysteries of Chesterton, Sayers, Carr, Allingham, and Christie. I think I like best those of Sayers' and Carr.

    Reading THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES and gotten to Chapter 6.

    Happy New Year! Sean
