Hi Axel,
Google Alert sent me the link to you novel.
Why?
Because my name is George Swede.
And, this isn’t the only coincidence. Decades ago, I had my little finger intentionally twisted and dislocated during an athletic event (ping-pong).
Cheers,
George
This is most definitely a creepy occurance. My Swedes were named for the many Minnesota Scandinavian farming families, and I hope your Swedes are less violent and trashy than my ball-playing clan.
Closest I’ve ever come to a Ping-Pong wound was when my brother gave me welts with his serve.
Thanks for the comment, and I hope you enjoy the book. Moreover, I hope you make better choices than my character George Swede, who will have a rough September . . .
After looking at your profile, my George Swede should be a power hitter with the family nickname of “Basho.” Of course, those Swedes would not understand the poetic reference . . .
