You don't have to do the crime to do the time

Jingle Jangle's first Costco book signing is next weekend:

Signings follow in Carson City on July 16, 17, & 18, and in Sparks on July 24. Costco members in the Reno area should take advantage of these opportunities to try to obtain some inside scoop from the author about the December 1991 murder of Kim Ancona in Phoenix's CBS Lounge, where Jim's cousin, Ray Krone, regularly played darts and drank beer.
    Be forewarned, however, he's not likely to tell you definitely who he thinks really killed Ancona; you're going to have to read the book (or talk to someone who did and is willing to tell you).
    Costco's price for this $24.95 book will be only $15.99. In stock beginning July 5 at the Carson City, Reno, and Sparks stores.
    If you aren't near those Costco stores but want to read Jingle Jangle, visit the publisher's store on the web.

And, while you're in the Broken Bench Press store, order a copy of Steve Glossin's fabulous Saddam Hussein-era novel, Prophecy of the Medallion.
    I've been thinking lately, it's about time I enjoyed this great read again myself.
