There was an upgrade to the theme I use on this blog, and it messed up all sorts of things! I was not happy. I kind of liked how it looked before, and wanted it fixed. So, I queried Brad, who used to be into web development, and I have no idea what he does […]
“Last Chance Inn” is halfway there, and at this rate there just might be a January release for this one. We’ll see. There will be crossover, sometimes fairly significant, between Jack Ryland’s series and the House of Bannerman. I love crossover between books, like “Stonecastle Inn” and “Darkness Falls.” “Camp Emmaus” and “House of Shadows,” […]
This man is absolutely getting his own series. I’m on page 110 of “Last Chance Inn.” That’s 1/3 of the way through, but I can not stand the thought of saying goodbye to this guy. That’s how I felt about Miles and Anika, and that’s why “House of Shadows” was written alongside “Miles.” It’s also […]
I am loving this book, and these characters! Jack Ryland and Cheryl Adams are soooo much fun to write! I’m currently on page 25. I’m seriously considering making “Last Chance Inn” the first in a new series. I can almost say for certain that’s what’s going to happen. No idea what the series title will […]
“Hiding Treasure” is two chapters away from completion. That sounds a lot closer to being finished than it is, though. Next comes the first read-over to check for errors and story consistency. Maybe something changed along the way, so something at the beginning needs to be altered to match. Here’s an example; a certain character […]
I’m finishing up “Hiding Treasure.” Probably wise, since it’s already out for pre-order! “Last Chance Inn” is the next stand-alone book on my to-do list. I’ll be writing it alongside “Depart the Darkness,” HOB 5, which I’m looking forward to getting back to. Today the chapter I wrote involved a guy named Jack Ryland. He […]
601 Suspense Street, 2nd in the Mystery Lane series, is now available! We all knew that was coming, though. Unless you stumbled on this page by accident. Either way, the big news is that “Hiding Treasure” is available for pre-order! Now I can share the back-of-the-book description, too. So here it is… Twenty-four year old […]
After spending several days reading over “601 Suspense Street” to check for typos, I’m back to “Hiding Treasure.” At 186 pages it’s coming along strong which is good for many reasons, but particularly since the next book is clamoring for attention. This untitled book which I’m going to refer to as “Museum” is the one […]
There was an email that needed composing, and I was having the worst time figuring out how to word it. How can I write a novel, several in fact, and I can’t write an email? Then a friend suggested having one of my characters write it. So I thought, hm. Why not? Miles came off […]
I did not know this, and that’s why I’m writing this particular post. Someone very dear to me changed a great deal over the last couple of years. Instead of being bubbly and sweet this person became dark and very angry. Thank goodness–no, thank God–she asked for help last month. Long story short, she has […]
