Good morning Roy. Not at your pace but entered the world of fiction and just finished "The Pardon" by James Grippando. Enjoy your day!

I have not yet read The Pardon. And, I notice that there are eight other books by this author on my shelf to read. I have only read five of his books and have some catching up to do.
