The Postcard
The Postcard | Tony Abbott
25 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
She died today. One phone call changes Jason's summer vacation-and life!-forever. When Jason's grandmother dies, he's sent down to her home in Florida to help his father clean out her things. At first he gripes about spending his summer miles away from his best friend, doing chores, and sweating in the Florida heat, but he soon discovers a mystery surrounding his grandmother's murky past. An old, yellowed postcard...a creepy phone call with a raspy voice at the other end asking, "So how smart are you?"...an entourage of freakish funeral goers....a bizarre magazine story. All contain clues that will send him on a thrilling journey to uncover family secrets. Award-winning author Tony Abbott weaves an intriguing and entertaining mystery of adventure, friendship and family.

Love Tony Abbott! Past, present and future in St. Petersburg Florida. When Jason‘s grandmother dies, his mom puts him on a flight to help his dad get things in order in FL. But Jason and his new friend Dia find themselves in a puzzling mystery that dates back to WWII…

Hi I need help. I signed up for #LitsyPostcardExchange and it must have worked because today I received my first one. But how do I send cards myself? Should I have gotten a list with Adresses or something like that? #littenshelplittens #christmas

Louise Hi, Svenja! If you send me your email address, I'll forward you the link to the google doc with the names and addresses on it. The copy I received is incomplete, and I had to contact a few people to get their full address. I plan to make a master sheet sometime soon but can send you what I have in the meantime. Drop me a line at pvmusegroup [at] gmail [dot] com. 7y
