My name is Joe Dumpty. As in “cup of joe.” Coffee, for those of you who don’t speak java. You may have heard of me, thanks to the efforts of Jeanie Franz Ransom. Jeanie is this great dame I ran into at the local java joint. While we were waiting for our lattes, we got to talking. I told Jeanie that I was a private detective with a story to tell. I wanted the world to know that what happened to my brother Humpty was no accident. I also wanted to reassure his many fans who had fallen to pieces after hearing about Humpty’s so-called accident. Humpty’s healing, and justice has been served.

It turned out that Jeanie’s a writer, and she was hungry for business. Lattes aren’t cheap. So we teamed up to write "What Really Happened to Humpty.” If you haven’t read the book, it’s a real page turner. All thirty-two pages of it. You can find it at just about any bookstore, including our very own Three Bears Books in Mother Goose Land.

Since the book came out, business has been booming. In fact, I’ve gotten so busy, I’m thinking about hiring an assistant. I’m working on a big case right now that, should it play out the way I think it will, may end up being another book by Jeanie and yours truly. Stay tuned.
