Gonna Getcha

One of my authors is a spy catcher. He caught a major spy, and now he's written a book about it. Yesterday I met him for the first time, and he's the nicest, more unassuming guy you could imagine: sweet and modest, with a big grin. You can understand how people would confide things in him--how they would trust him if they were in trouble. Can't help but be a bit fascinated by the whole scene. Did he fall into his job the way I fell into mine?

The kids play at being spies; Maisie wants to be a spy when she grows up--wants to go to Spy School after college (because she knows every option comes after college. "So Spy School is like graduate school?" she asks.)

Off to jury duty.
