I guess it's a reified picture of the Belgian

character, although he doesn't smoke.

This is what I really looked like in late 1988.

I think it was around Christmas.

My Translation from French:

Listen well, old friend. I know my job, eh? I have had the same amount of adventures behind me, so I know what I must do, okay?

I like this more worldly Tintin, which is why I try to keep Król as real as possible in my stories. Of course, my publishing these stories helps me further develop the characters!

I have placed the simplified Tintin below with his talking dog, Milou (translated as Snowy in English). There are a few parallels between Tintin and Król, so I've placed Tintin along with the others as inspirations.

How I actually looked at Christmas 1970

My world was so much simpler and enjoyable.

How I wish I looked! I conceived Buddy Król as a

tall, freckled blond, chin clefted and left-handed.

What a magnificent crossing this is, Snowy!

In 2024, I published nine mysteries written between 1977 and 1991, to put the total at fourteen. I combined three stories, III to V, into III. It is a critical mystery that develops the character for the following mysteries.

For 2025, I intend to explore earlier origin of the character and when he developed into a detective in law enforcement. There's still "Based Baseball", which remains stalled while I develop the character further. The story takes place in 2020 in an alternate universe.

This site presents an opportunity to be creative. Back in 1977, I created my own mysteries, using a combination of Hardy Boys and Jessica Fletcher. I would like to join any group of creative writers on the internet, so let me know if you belong to any such groups. It the written equivalent of Toastmasters.

My name is George "Buddy" Król.(cruel I am a fictional character, created in 1977. I am a CPA, operating in State College, Pennsylvania, near Penn State.

I started my childhood years with a good friend, Don Hough, who introduced me into law enforcement. Don died on Saturday, 22 November 1980 after one of those cases.

I gained such skill that often I found myself in danger, even though detective work was not my profession. I returned to detective work, after many years in law enforcement. I published most of the past cases in 2024, using artintel pictures, not available when I wrote them or my own sketched scenes.

2025 should see new cases, some already written and just transcripted, others written from scratch then published.

I'll make changes to this site regularly, To stimulate my creativity, In 2025, I am writing a "Young George Król" series taking place in 1967. I am also overdue to finish writing "Based Baseball", which is set in late summer 2020.

George Krol and Keith Cahill in " The Case of the Crime for Christmas"

Here I am on the left with my best buddy as we try to solve the Case of the "Crime for Christmas" in 1989. I finished writing it in time for Christmas. I transcribed it with little editing.

I would have loved to have played Joe Hardy in that series. Actually the version was too tame. I preferred the strong Joe Hardy of the books. Of course, Perry Mason was much tougher in the books than on television. In any case, I'd have lightened my hair, and my eye color is much closer to blue than Shaun Cassidy's!

I am seriously considering a rewrite of all twentyfive mysteries into this site. It will be quite an undertaking!

Historians I Honor

John P Day & Jack

Even though they look alike, they are very different. Dr Fred Stefon, who is still at the Wilkes-Barre Campus at Penn State, encouraged me to look at history differently. He was my mentor for many years, and the driving force for both my master's degrees.
John Patrick Day has been invaluable in my latest attempts to fashion historical fiction. He has encouraged me to continue my pursuit on the internet.  Isn't it ironic that I've never met John Patrick Day, but he continues to inspire me?
