I’m at the annual Star Trek convention this week — if you see me, wave — but that won’t stop me from teasing a few more juicy details from Bygones.
11. The Chief Medical Examiner has a sweet tooth.
Vasily will never understand how Dr. Marguerite “Peg” Pembrooke is capable of eating or drinking during a post mortem, though he’s not entirely above continuing to bring her fancy coffee drinks to ensure his cases move to the head of the line. (It helps that Peggy likes Vasily, too.)
12. Vasily’s Camaro gets a bit of a workout.
With drives to St. Lucie, Palm Springs and Santa Ana, Vas racks up some miles in this one — and that doesn’t count his normal commute between Anaheim and Rancho Linda. Good thing he keeps his muscle car in top notch shape.
13. Don’t order the pancakes at the diner.
Not unless you are really, really hungry — something an out-of-town guest discovers, much to Vasily’s impish delight.
14. Vas has a nice office now.
Getting bumped to Deputy Chief means he’s out of the cubicle and into a spot with a window and a perfectly-sized counter for his new Keurig. Unfortunately, the office comes with other duties he’s not quite as fond of, but when in Rome…
15. Can time and distance can heal old wounds?
Bygones takes place nearly a year after the events of Blindsided and Vasily’s original abrupt departure from Windeport. Quite a bit has happened since then, but one thing remains: he’s never quite figured out what to do about his best friend, Sean Colbeth. Will he patch things up? Or are the two destined to forever travel different roads? (Yes, I know that Downhill is something of a spoiler…)
Okay kids, that’s it for now. Next time we will be under a week to release!
