Episodes 28-31: Duct Tape, Biological Warfare, Rancho Vampiro, and Dinner Bell

Mummy-themed pulp magazine cover
Duct tape gave the Pharaohs their immense strength and allowed them to live forever. Mammoth Detective Magazine, September 1942.

I was under the weather for a while with that cold that’s been going around. The scheduled episodes all posted on time but I didn’t post anything on social media to let people know, so here’s a belated fourfer to catch us up.

Episode 28: Duct Tape. As you’ll recall, Flavia gave Fank a note informing him that they’ll be walking into a trap this evening. Frank finds a creative use for duct tape in the hopes of shifting the odds in their favor.

Episode 29: Biological Warfare. Frank’s creativity knows no bounds, especially not the bounds of propriety!

Episode 30: Rancho Vampiro. Well, with a title like that, you hardly need me to write a sentence as a teaser! Let’s just say it delivers what it says on the label. The die has been cast, the game is afoot, the time for preparation is over and the action has begun!

Episode 31: Dinner Bell. This title is even more self-explanatory than the last one! Or … is it?

Up next: Episode 32: Instant Camera. Wait, what? Good. I was making too much sense for a while there.

 

Robert Plamondon’s Fiction

I put my fiction writing tips in this blog and also talk about my fiction.

I have two complete novels out: One Survivor (a space opera) and Silver Buckshot (a romantic urban fantasy thriller with extra banter), and others in the works. This site talks about my stories and also about fiction writing in general.

Silver Buckshot: Magic, Mystery, and a Most Aggravating Boyfriend

Originally serialized on the now-defunct Kindle Vella platform. Now available in paperback and Kindle.

Thirteen-year-old Princess Flavia has endured a lot recently. Polio crippled her legs and killed her mother, her father is sunk in grief, and her servants veer between negligence and cruelty. She takes refuge in her books and never complains.

But she draws the line at being murdered. Fourteen-year-old Frank Barron, a contender for the most aggravating boy in the universe, conceals her when the shooting starts. This is no accident: a letter told him what to do. It’s signed, “Love, Flavia.” She has no memory of it, and, anyway, she can’t tell the future! Or fall in love. Can she?
