…people order “House of Shadows,” “Darkness Falls,” and “The Lodge at Whispering Pines.” Because, it means those people read “Miles” and liked it enough to want to hear more of the story! I happen to love “Miles,” and enjoy writing that series more than any other, so I feel glad when I see that other […]

“Isle” Release Date June 30
It’s not yet available for pre-order, it takes Amazon 12-24 hours to run the manuscript through… whatever it is they do with it, I don’t know. But! It’s been submitted and will be available for pre-order tomorrow. So I made my June book release after all. I will not however… barring the best imaginable circumstances, […]
Not the Evening I’d Planned
I’m on page 57 of “Isle,” as I do the final proof and edit of the manuscript before submitting it for pre-order and handing it off to my trusty proofreaders for their perusal. I expected to be finished and working on “601 Suspense Street” right now. The kiddo is supposed to be at camp right […]
601 Suspense Street
“Isle” is quickly wrapping up. I’m taking a brief moment to post, then I’ll complete the final paragraphs. Those are so important to a story and only in getting it right is the reader (and the writer) left feeling satisfied. My favorite ending out of all the books I’ve written, and probably ever will write, […]
The Finishing Touch
“Isle of the Crescent Moon” is all but complete! I expect to start proofreading tomorrow. I’m expecting company tomorrow too, so… it may be a late night. I’m very pleased with “Isle” and that, barring calamity of some kind, it will be ready to pre-order soon. I’m also looking forward to getting back to 601 […]
Fox of 715 Mystery Lane
This beautiful guy is Fox, a dearly loved and dearly missed friend. Anyone who has read 715 Mystery Lane may very well wonder… what kind of dog is Fox? Will never said, because Will had no idea. Fox never said, because he can not talk in a way that Will can understand. I however do […]
The End is in Sight
Three chapters to go! “Isle” is at 263 pages, and I’m taking a moment to breath before writing chapter 22. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll find the back-of-the-book description for “Isle” here on the site now. I’ve got more to say, but I’ve also got characters ready to finish their story! So happy […]
Independence
This handsome fellow is Independence, otherwise known as Indy. If you’ve read “Camp Emmaus,” you’re familiar with Samson, Lizzie’s Diabetic Alert Dog. Indy is the inspiration for Samson. Indy’s living a life of retirement now, but for several years he worked as my DAD, alerting me when my blood glucose level went outside of a […]
Happy Birthday Anika
It’s June 1st, and Anika’s 21st birthday. Because, you see, when The House of Bannerman series took off, it did so with a vengeance. “Miles” began in September 2013. “Miles” ended May 19, 2014. “House of Shadows” began the day after, and ended last month–May 19 2015. “Darkness Falls” may be on the shelves now, […]
