Author's Note
While this book is a mystery, it is much sweeter than the B.B. Rivers series. It is probably written for a much younger audience than those who read B.B. Maybe the "Harry Potter" kids, but heck, I read all Rowling's books.Back in another lifetime, I used to read meters for the city of Austin. I walked six miles a day, five days a week, and was in about as good a shape as I've ever been, and City was paying me for it. Harley is a little bit of me, I suppose, but also the fellow I trained with to take over his route was a lot like Harley. Dog, his pet raccoon came from someone else I knew. One of the nice things about being a fiction writer is, you can make it up as you go along.
