The Greatest Books Ever. Or At Least For The Week.
Latest & greatest idea: write the great American Murder Mystery-except make the setting & job of main character diff. from hosp., law office, newsroom, etc. My story’ll be about operator of a bumper car attraction-good. Bad: evil bumper car who bumps people so hard they flip & splat on the floor or end up rolling down the bushes on the hill & into the bucket, which they kick. Book title: “The Killer Bumper Car.”
Alternative book subject: “Killer Doughnuts.” Plot: Good guy/gal is counter person/cashier at doughnut shop. But doughnuts taste really, really bad - they’re rock hard. Enough to test a person’s gag reflex. Hard enough that they are actuall…y weapons of destruction - but with minds of their own. Sentient beings. Coated sentient beings. Anyway, they’re baked and infused with evil by the doughnut shop’s grossly misguided baker, who believes he is the reincarnation of the sorcerer Emerild from the Old, Old Country. The doughnuts fly out of the counter and bonk people so hard on the head that they die or are injured. Just dastardly crimes. Not sure how it’ll end. Perhaps someone will give the baker a really mouth-watering doughnut with a filling that would make Nigella Lawson cry, and he’ll become nice. Shop name would be, “Joe’s Croutons.”
