I didn’t count how many times I’ve said that, but this, is the final cover for Mystery Lane book 3. I can now honestly say with 100% certainty that the book is done! The kindle version will be released September 4th, and the paperback before then. I’m not sure of the date, but will post […]
Now in the works is Uncertainly Yours, which is a Bannerman Foundation mystery. This book takes place in the fall of 2017, so it postdates the next two or three House of Bannerman books, and Jack Ryland’s third and perhaps fourth. It’s currently on page 282, because I had a lot of it written before […]
There were times I thought this day would never come, but 423 Apprehensive Avenue, book 3 in the Mystery Lane series, is complete at 342 pages! I’m letting out a huge sigh of relief as I savor this moment, then I’ll start proofing. That means reading and rereading it, which I’m totally fine with! Considering […]
It’s so close to being finished! There will be one more chapter after the current one, maybe two. I expect it to be finished in another 30ish pages. I can hardly wait! So I’m going to get back to it, and get it done!
The pages are flying onto the screen after months of drought, and 423 Apprehensive Avenue is drawing to a close! At this rate, the keys of my Mac may soon be as worn as those of my two former laptops. They’re starting to look decidedly shiny. Rather than go on about what a relief it […]
Life has not slowed down one iota. There are as many doctor appointments as ever, and it seems each day brings a new complication or crisis with it. But… 423 Apprehensive Avenue is on page 260. This is a huge leap, thanks in part to taking my laptop with me everywhere I go. I stopped […]
I’m about half-way through, and hoping and praying for the opportunity to devote time to finishing 423 Apprehensive Avenue soon. For Em’s 14th birthday–which she spent in the hospital–I spent time redecorating her bedroom. Staying with her outside of visiting hours was not an option, which I found very hard to tolerate, so since she […]
We’re all feeling a little singed here in the Simonin household after an extremely difficult month and a half that tested me more than I ever hope to be again. I can’t speak for Brad and Em, but as for myself I had to keep clinging to the truth that God is in control and […]
423 Apprehensive Avenue has reached that milestone at last, and it’s a good feeling. Uncertainly Yours has been shelved for the time being, as it’s too complicated to write when all I’ve got are spare minutes here and there. Mystery Lane book 3, however, isn’t complicated in the same way. There’s not as much to […]
I’ve really been empathizing with Samantha Riley, Anika’s mom, lately. Doreen was sick with a variety of symptoms, which no one could diagnose until Miles suggested it could be chronic Lyme. As complicated as that was, with Em it’s been even more so in that there’s no one diagnosis. Doctors, tests, more doctors, more tests, […]
