Payback

FOREWORD

Dear Reader,

Hey, wanted to thank you for your fine response to my plea for mail in book number sixteen. A plea made due to an unfortunate wager I made with an erstwhile friend. No, I didn’t get the thousand letters, but he backed off and we had an arm-wrestling contest instead for the small inheritance, and now he owes me two hundred dollars. I said the inheritance was small.

A note of caution. Men, more and more mail is coming to me from women readers. Yes! A lot of the fair sex like the shenanigans and combat of our SEAL Team Seven. The loudest protest against having my favorite girl-type nuclear weapons expert along on the two missions came from a woman, an ex-Navy lady at that.

So, it might be a good idea to hide this copy of Payback under a pillow or slip it in with the magazines so your wife, or lady friend, doesn’t find it. I’m warning you now. I won’t be responsible if some female discovers your copy and you never get a chance to finish reading it.

Oh, yes, keep those cards and letters coming. If I goof, yell at me. If you like these books, you can say that too. I’ll pitch your letters at my new editor. Every little bit helps. Send your letters to:

Take care and, please, read more (of my) books.
