Rat Bastard

Well, the contract is all signed and sent and it's official...there will be a sequel to Pop Goes the Weasel! Yes, Patrick Carrington Weasley, better known as Weasel, will return around March in a little volume entitled Rat Bastard. This time around, Weasel has to not only deal with his stepfather, who hates his guts, but also with a new job. The job is at a country Inn that does little business, so it's right up Weasel's alley, as he can read mysteries most of the day. If only the local deputy sheriff didn't think Weasel was the arsonist that's been setting fires right and left. The job also takes away time that Weasel could spend with his boyfriend, Tony, but money has to come first. Other problems: Tony's ex-boyfriend wants to beat the crap out of Weasel. And there's still Cicely Talbot, who has decided she wants to marry Weasel even if he is gay. So when Weasel isn't dodging his stepfather, Cicely, and Tony's ex or pretending to be the legendary ghost in the area, he's trying to convince the local law that he's not a firebug...which would be easier if he didn't seem to keep setting things on fire.
