** PROJECT UPDATE **

Last night the digital e-Book copies of The Wildlife Confessional shipped (=became available) to backers. Unfortunately, on the print-side we’ve been working closely with Inkshares over the last week to troubleshoot a printing deficiency that came about during production - the quality of the illustrations on the paper page wasn’t up to snuff, something the printer has assured us was a one-off.

Those of us - like myself - that value the printed word on paper pages will have to sit tight while they queue up the presses for a new run of books, which likely won’t arrive until after the New Year. But I hope those of you who e-read have already tucked in to your copy of The Wildlife Confessional and are busy tap-turning the pages late into the night.

Thank you again for your patience - they say good things come to those who wait, so this must be a good thing coming :).

Happy Holidays,

Hi, everyone! Just a quick update on my new release - holiday gingerbread baking romance! - and an author interview I’ve done as part of the release promo!

Hi there,

just a little treat for you all...and a request for some feedback. Below is the new front cover, and a prospective blurb for the back cover. Feel free to comment on both, and if anybody fancies being a beta reader feel free to let me know.

With the Ripper conspiracy laid to rest, and the Louisiana Torso case closed; Sherriff Duke Lanoix and Detective Chandler Travis were enjoying some downtime with their respective partners.

 But then Travis receives a call from Belgian Detective Jochum Hoog. A headless torso with eerie similarities to their recent investigation turns up in a canal within the medieval city of Bruges.

 With a booming tourist industry to protect, and the threat of more victims, the Belgium authorities wanted the case closed.  And fast!

 Within hours Duke, Roxie and Travis are headed for Belgium. But as the body count grows their search leads them beneath the streets of Bruges where the investigation becomes personal…with devastating results.

** Update **

Happy holidays, Confessionistas!

Regretfully, our original November print date has slipped a month due to the intricacies of the internal layout, so we are now looking at a mid-December press date (right now, it’s December 10), still in time for the holidays! 

On the plus side, the delay has given us time to revisit the cover to make it sparkle! Moving forward, we’ll be providing more regular updates on the project’s Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/The-Wildlife-Confessional-1070767069681846/]. There, you can see the updated cover design and follow along as our Amazon page goes live (we have an ISBN!) and the presses start rolling.

As always, thank you *all* for your patience and support.

Regards,

Hello, everyone! I know, I know... it’s been almost two years since we funded HOW TO REMEMBER. It’s all good! The book is still on its way. I turned in my third draft and am looking forward to my next round of feedback. I’m convinced it will be ten times better than the last.

In the meantime, lots of stuff has happened! I completed another novel and entered it in Pitch Wars, which is a mentorship competition (find more info at PitchWars.org). While the odds of being matched with a mentor are slim, getting the book together and submitting it has been a great experience. I also edited a full-length novel and a short story anthology through the indie co-op Writing Bloc. The Deception anthology is out today on Kindle - you can find it here.

Are you doing NaNoWriMo? My participation will depend on whether I’m picked for Pitch Wars. If I’m able, I’ll be working on yet another manuscript, hoping to add another 50,000 words to the draft. I’ve never completed NaNo in November, but I’ve written a book in a month... a few times ;-)

Bouchercon, the annual celebration of crime fiction, is happening now, and I have major FOMO. But I’m planning to attend the Public Library Association conference in Nashville in 2020, so there will be some shenanigans there! For those who are attending BCon - I miss you, and have fun!!

Thanks, readers!! Happy Halloween!
