Just finished MATING SEASON, Jon Loomis

Jon,
I loved this book. I like the characters but have to read HIGH SEASON again because I've forgotten some about Coffin's father and his death, and Coffin's divorce, etc. I remember the obscene parrot and hope to see more of the bar in your next book.

Lots of humor, some subtle (driver's name, "Lennie," like what else could it be?, and Branstool, boss of nursing home, great name).

I don't know what some of the sex toys (tildes, strap ons) are used for, and at 71, it's too late to, well, never mind. Very good dialog and plot.

In the 3rd book in the series, I'd like more Mom and wouldn't mind seeing Lennie and Zoran again. Jaime, well, Coffin is looking around a bit too much, so, oh well. Lola's great.

I also liked the size of the pages, the paper quality, the print, and the spacing, with no blank pages to "fill" the book up. Very easy reading. My compliments to whoever picked out that stuff.

Now get busy and work on 3rd, I ain't got that much time left. Also, you take a mighty wicked picture. You must drive your wife crazy.

2. Hey--thanks, fadedrose.

I really appreciate the feedback--glad you liked the book. Made my day! I don't know what tildes are, either--a typo, maybe?

3. Yep, it was a typo

I checked the dictionary and here's what it says:

dil⋅do  /ˈdɪldoʊ/ Show Spelled Pronunciation Show IPA
–noun, plural -dos. Slang. an artificial erect penis, used as a sexual aid.

What in the world would a guy do with one of these?

Never mind, don't answer. Skinner will be banning me due to my innocence...;0 ;0

4. Ha!

You're very funny, FR.
