So, how did you end up getting a concept artist from Sid Meier's Civilization as your illustrator?

I don’t know what that is. Jerome, who is an artist who works in many classical media but who also worked in game design, is an old school mate of my brothers and a lifelong family friend.

Civilization is a very popular series of strategy video games, going back to the early 1990s. Your brothers' friend Jerome was a big part of video game history.

Good catch! Now DBH is irreversibly connected with video games. Sid Meier should include him as an in-game adviser in Civilization VII.

I very much enjoyed “The mystery of Castle MacGorilla”. Would that my nephew and nieces were still young so I could read it to them. Perhaps they would not have become such philistines and yuppies if I had done so.

A helpful reminder to find my copy of the prequel. I bought it when it first came out, but my son was too young at the time. He should be just the right age now.
