Hi, readers!! Many of you on the list are new, and I’m so happy to see you here! Thanks for supporting my book and helping this thing happen. I think we can get to 250 by the 9th. 

I still need about 5 copies a day to get there. This week has been a great one - I’ve sold at least 5 every day, with some days even more! So I’m getting ready to do another push. If we get to 200 by next Saturday, I’ll give away a $50 Amazon gift card to a reader chosen randomly from the list of pre-orders. Of course, if you buy more copies, you get more chances... ;-) 

I am still very bad at this selling thing, so any advice would be helpful. I love advice. Bring it on.

I hope you all have a great week! I had a rough one yesterday - I was hacked... it’s a long story. But the kids are at my parents’ house, and I’m hopeful for a quiet and calm day of writing and promo!

Dear friends and followers,

Things continue apace, and I think we’re on track for publication before summer. It’s a lot more work than I bargained for! The big news, though, is that we’re changing the title of the book. The story will now be published as "A Gentleman’s Murder". Well, if a gentlemen’s club, then of course a gentleman’s murder, right? And one has to admit it rolls off the tongue more easily.

It does mean I’m going to need a new header for these news bulletins....

The other big news is that we’ve also got a new cover!

It’s not quite final yet, I’m told, but I gather that this is a pretty good taste of what’s in store.

And now, I had better get back to those edits. Before somebody murders me....
