A local grocery store has at the door that which can only best be described as a sail advertising the availability of “Official Olympic Games 2024 Merchandise.”
That’s it. It doesn’t say what sort of merchandise. We’re just meant to be excited to rush in and see what they’ve got in stock that they always have in stock but now with a logo on it. Or perhaps they’re declaring the entire store official, like sacred ground, and anything you buy between now and when it’s discounted after the circus has left town is officially official.
I don’t know, and it’s in that capacity that I’m announcing that I’m the official locked-room humourist of the 2024 Olympic Games. If that’s not how it works and/or I’m stepping on the toes of the actual official locked room humourist, I’ll apologise now and withdraw the declaration.
Oh, and the February newsletter is now available in the archives.

The Ides of Audible
The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich launched officially on March 1st, unofficially on February 21st, was on most platforms by February 23rd, and it’s available as of today, the ides of March, on Audible.
Tim Bruce assumes the voices of a cast of almost all Scots in the sixth Anty Boisjoly Mystery, in which two impossible murders eliminate both master distillers of Anty Boisjoly’s favourite tipple. Anty must navigate a literal divide between two ancient communities, ruthless rivals in whisky, history, and golf, to identify the killer and save the spirit of Glen Glennegie.
Launch Day for RMS Ballast
Today (assuming it’s still March 1st by the time this message reaches civilisation) Mystery and Malice aboard RMS Ballast leaves dry dock for a stormy saga spanning the centuries and the seven seas.
This time it’s deadly weather, pirate treasure, and all-too-clever locked-stateroom murder that tests Anty’s talent for mysterious malice, even though the suspects are limited to the few and crew aboard a leaky yacht tossed on the tempestuous outer Scilly Seas.
Mystery and Malice aboard RMS Ballast is available here and now on Kindle, Unlimited, and Paperback.
Thank you very much for reading.
