I want to thank all my fans, everywhere, for their kind words and support.
And I am especially indebted to those book clubs and fan clubs who go the extra mile and feel the need to do something special for me, believe me, just buying my books is enough.
However, I do love the kind gifts and thank you all very much.
It is indeed most humbling and brings a tear to my eye every time I open one.
Once again Thank you.

The Chicago police department detective badge given to me is meaningful to me for many reasons. First of all, I grew up in Chicago. Secondly, The Tech Support Book Series is centered around Chicago. Thirdly, the Joy in Life Series is centered in Chicago. Fourthly, and probably most pertinent, the Phyllis Clark Detective Series is centered around Chicago, except for Phyllis Clark and the Devil's Scepter, Phyllis Clark and the Demon Cult and the second half of Phyllis Clark; Murder and Other Parlor Games. In addition, Phyllis' grandfather, Phillip, was once a Chicago Police Detective, and her Godfather, Captain Sean O'Malley is the senior robbery/homicide detective for the Chicago Police Department.
Interpol Badge given by Blackwell's Brentwood Book Club
The Interpol badge given to me by the Blackwell's Brentwood Book Club, Essex, England is a meaningful addition to my budding collection. It is so, because it is the badge that Brother Volker would carry. Bother Volker is a recurring character in the Phyllis Clark Detective Series. Brother Clouse Volker is a Catholic Monk and Swiss Templar Knight. He is also an Interpol Inspector who serves with the Vatican Police and shows up now and then in several of the Phyllis Clark books.
