Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Ahh yes! Now I see the light. You number one, Henry. :grinning:

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Lou,

Thank you for the kind reply. I am humbled by your praise. And… the book looks interesting. Not our typical Chan fare with 1920’s styling from Mr. Biggers but this new pastiche may prove interesting after all. I’ll have to pick-up a copy.

As my pop would say, Thank you so much. Or something like that!

Henry

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Dear Henry,

BINGO!

And, it seems Lou uncovered a possible error of another nature. But, beyond these, let's give the book a chance. I am pleased to see a new Charlie Chan book hitting the shelves!

Sincerely,
Rush

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Great to hear, you folks reading it.
After posting it on facebook last week, I was surprised to learn that nobody seems to know.
Maybe books aren't media No 1 those days :-)
I'd love to hear your thougts on that.
regards M.

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Michael, Aloha. Did you author the book? I know it say Jim Rathbone, but is that a pseudonym? Have you read it yet? TXS, Lou

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Lou, sorry, no, i'm not the author. And I can't be lifter of veils here.
I found the book a year ago and posted about it http://charliechan.mhoefler.de/charlie-chan-cheeseburgers-root-beer-floats-and-murder/
Back then Jim Rathbone had a facebook page (I added the link to the post). He was talking about a sequel.

I am not very familiar with facebook (registered in january) but as far as I can say, his facebook page has vanished.
So sorry. One should investigate and peek into mystery of the vanishing author ;-)

Re: Speaking of new Charlie Chan stories...

Sorry. I guess I was a bit hasty. Did a little search.
I recognized the author from his photo. Was easier than I would have thought.
Here he is: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorRathbone
But his last posting is from june 22.
regards M.
