Agent Boudreaux's cousin, Elmer Udd, had an innate feeling about the potential of radio energy to tap into the hidden languages of animals. Initially, his co-workers dismissed the unintelligible noise as "static" but he knew better. His reliable and ever-faithful lab assistant, Nipper (who would go on to RCA Records fame) never complained. In fact, on that fateful Thursday evening, after many double-vodkas, Nipper pretended with all his heart and soul to actually hear the subtle chanting of Labradors from Mars that Elmer swore was self evident. Such a kind canine has never existed since.
* Nipper would go on to fame and fortune as the curious dog of RCA Records, his well deserved reward for having infinite patience.
* Elmer ended his days in the Happy Valley Convalescent Home, having never blinked again.

Who is the "Slovakian"?
" * I dance in God's footsteps,
ooh, how well my feet fit.
* I dance with the Devil,
ooh, what rhythm we have!"
- the Slovakian (singing while... dancing)

Agent Boudreaux
the learning curve was steep... Agent Boudreaux's ancestors discover
Espionage had been an exciting idea, at first. However, being recruited by a British intel guy who was actually an Analyst and not a Field Operative proved slightly...disastrous. Agent Boudreaux's aunt and uncle soon discovered that this Analyst had no earthly idea how short a fuse on a 10 megaton device could actually be. (*coming Fall 2018)
Agent Boudreaux back story - the grand parents meet
grandparents of Agent Boudreaux meet.
She: taking a short cut through a well-lit alley
He: sending signals to a contact: one foot up, one finger pointing down, one arm up
She: are you OK?
He: Fine, just talking with the Queen
She: wishing she had chosen a different route
He: nice day for tea and biscuits
She: just ate, thank you.
He: really, the Queen insists (handing her the phone)
She: 'ello Ma'am
Voice: please humor him, he's pretending I'm the Queen again

bad guys begat bad guys...
prior to their unintentioned procreation with two fan-girls working the casino that night, these two thugs had little more going for them than an intimidating look for the police camera. Their "socialist" criminal organization could be depended to take care of them, as long as loyalty was never questioned. Two generations later, both of their grandsons had secure jobs with a "capitalist" despot on a private Hawaiian island. Oh, how the times do change.

Espionage runs deep...
more prequel history on Agent Boudreaux
Third cousin, thrice removed, adopted son of Edgar and Beatrice Smith, a one Richard Pickersgill (Smith) had an extremely short covert career for espionage in remote pre-communist Tibet, primarily because his inescapable non-Tibetan features did him no favors for disguise, despite his meticulously crafted local costume dress. He never reported back.
Young Agent Boudreaux
prequel intel on our hero, Agent Boudreaux
raised by his slightly crazed grandmother north of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, James Boudreaux displayed an early interest in eavesdropping on radio transmissions. However, as was the case in remote locations of America radio was sometimes unavailable, so Grandmother Praline would appease young James with LP recordings of Congressional hearings on corn and soybean subsidies. This influenced him greatly when deciding later to enter government service... as an Agent (and not as a Congressman, or a farmer)
Who is "Alexi"? and what the heck was her great aunt thinking?
more 'back story' to Agent Boudreaux
despite all the warnings from family and friends, Alexi's (book 3) great aunt continued to smuggle documents for the Canadian government out of Britain, at great risk to her freedom - and her life. Unfortunately, shortly after this image was captured by MI6 operatives already alerted to her espionage, she was installed as a permanent resident of the catacombs below Buckingham Palace. To this day, some say they can still hear her lonely songs sung half a note off of pitch...
Who is "The Slovakian"?
prior to "the Slovakian" setting up her secret project on Lana'i...
(Agent Boudreaux - book 2, coming soon!)
(Agent Boudreaux - book 2, coming soon!)
...there was her great-grandmother, Kateoina, arrested in Paris, during the so-called "Fur Raids" targeting illegal fox, mink and beaver pelts. The authorities didn't believe her claim that her coat included only black bear pelts, which she had sewn herself, after killing only one, large, bear back in the homeland. She was very industrious, and an indomitable survivor, and also realized that the so-called chair, next to her, was trouble... having reduced the previous occupants of this cell to the puddles still obvious on the floor.
Backstory to the series: Agent Boudreaux
prior to Agent Boudreaux making his mark on the world...
there was some influence from his distant 3rd-Uncle Louie, twice removed, on his adopted mother's side. He was from the other side of the docks, specifically a fishing boat/studio-apartment anchored at #39. His behavior often put him in front of Police cameras, where he became fond of posing with a certain flair, knowing there were dames all over town that would dig his style. * However, his belt strategy often sank his best efforts (but not always...bail was easy to come by, if you know what we mean)

New Spy Series!
Set in Hawaii: in Lahaina, Maui and on Lana'i, Agent Boudreaux attempting to retire after a near-assassination in Belarus finds himself inexorably drawn into a far deeper conflict. Beautifully written, in the softly descriptive style Peacock readers are accustomed to, this first 3 books in a longer series is a fast-paced exploration of the never ending quest, by some, to rule the world. In this case, by changing the very fabric of humanity... FALL 2018

to fade away... or not
As
I find myself changing, yet again,
I must decide on a path forward.
Since
age is robbing me of my youthful normalcy,
do I facilitate it while
it shrinks my height?
Do I accelerate it robbing me of my thick mane?
Is acquiescence a proper strategy to address
fading mental capabilities?
Maybe.
But not yet.
I
can still stand up straight.
I can keep my hair long.
I can record
my thoughts
before I forget them.
One
path, though, is clear.
Age has also rewarded me
with an ever
increasing ability to find
comfort in my own counsel.
I can finally see the patterns in experience
that I wish to embrace,
as well as those to avoid.
Fears fade
like the manufactured distractions they are intended to be.
And,
love becomes more important,
as I am now most certain that it is
the
only thing we will take into the Great Fade.
