Corona or Not?
Corona or Not
Coronavirus
or not, we have made adjustments to our ordinary lives and have reasonably
settled into a quieter lifestyle. Among other things, it includes an ice-cold
Corona and a few chips and dip to accompany it on a bright, sunny day in our
courtyard or on the rear patio.
In
some ways, we have made good headway on our lifestyles: creative cooking with
the Instapot; experimented with the Anova pan for meat, fish, and vegetables; and,
we went overboard on the breakfast omelets which includes four eggs, boiled and
chopped potatoes, green peppers, chopped red onions, mushrooms, and an
unhealthy serving of shredded cheese. Served with freshly grilled tortillas and
steaming hot coffee, it is a breakfast fit for a king. Or, you can substitute
the coffee for an icy Corona with your treat for a late morning brunch.
Nevertheless,
despite the virus, I have made significant accomplishments in my writing.
Continuing the Border War Series that began with “Color of the Prism” (optioned
to Tarantino Productions), the second book in the series will be out this
summer. “We Were Young Once …” follows New Mexico State Trooper Enrique Basurto
in his undercover assignment along infamous N.M. Highway 9 on the state’s
southern border and the near ghost-town of Hachita, New Mexico. As a member of
the federal and state Human and Drug Interdiction Task Force, Agent Basurto
carries on the work of his granduncle, Antonio Castenada, a Tucson narc who was
murdered as a result of his work in the border wars years earlier.
Never
one to find myself bored with nothing to do during the quarantine, I have made
strides in the development of the third book in the Border War Series. “The
Russian” that continues the drug and human trafficking between Chihuahua and
New Mexico, and broadens the scope to take in the Russian mafia endeavors along
the border.
There
is never a dull moment in the Nichols household, quarantine or not. But, it is
early afternoon and time now for me to take a break and have a Corona.

of the Prism” is available at www.thomasjnichols.com/
