I’m back from my minibreak and ready to return to the first draft of book # 20, tentatively called “Give him enough rope.” This title occurred to me as I was driving per my navigation system’s instructions down a one-lane gravel road in the middle of nowhere. I thought, I’ll just not question the computer, and I continued on, giving it enough rope, so to speak. Uh oh. It was four tense miles, but I came out of it with a book title and a dust-covered vehicle. By the way, if you want to see the USA, now’s the time to do it. Gas prices are low and the navigation systems seem to be having fun and are taking us for a ride. Speaking of rides, Cid has been selling very well. Thank you to all who have purchased and read the first of the Cid Garrett P.I. series.

Summer Update 2016
Cid is on schedule and in its second edit. I’ve finally caught the wave of my next book after dumping the first four chapters. They just weren’t right. I’ve got to feel the story, and I wasn’t feeling it. Contrary to some reports, I don’t turn it (the muse) on like a faucet. Although water does help. Or doing something else like waiting in line somewhere. Movie theater lines are perfect, and I love summer movies.

An Update and a Thank you
I’m squeezing in some time to thank everyone for an amazing launch of “The Long Game.” Yes, there have been mixed reviews. I’m not unhappy with the comments. I find that each reader, after reading 18 books, has a path in mind where they want PEEPs to go. But I have to write the book that is inside me, so as long as everyone is still enjoying the series, it will continue.
I’ve started book 20. There’s no firm title as of yet. It’s going to be an interesting book to write. I have two investigators who are either ready to give birth or are several months pregnant. But we women can do just about anything, so I have confidence in the PEEPs team. I have a big surprise at the beginning. I won’t spoil it for you, but I’m grinning ear to ear at the moment. For those guessing, it’s not Audrey giving birth, try again.
Cid the first novel of Cid Garett P. I. is in editing. The Red Pen hasn’t growled at me yet, so I’m thinking she likes it. Crossing my fingers.
Please forgive for this for being short, but I’m lost in the muse.

Update for The Long Game
in Info
This is so bizarre. I’m writing this update the day after posting my last Friday blog post. The reason is that I will be traveling this coming week, but while I’m gone, the Beta Reader will be reading. So I don’t know if this post will be either be titled Updates or New Release. We are so close! The target publication date is June 1st, 2016.
The Long Game is a particularly long book. It’s the size of a normal Haunted Series book and a novella combined. Why so long? When I write the Haunted Series, I let the characters take me places. I never thought Mia and Murphy would end up in one particular place, but the story went there, and so did I.

No Spoilers!
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrough drafts. First drafts are these marvelous things full of excitement, plot lines, typos, and What the fuzzy bunnies? I sat today and reread a few lines and said, “Huh.” I tried to think what I was trying to get across, “Nope.” Took it in context, “Um, no.” Then I deleted them. What was I thinking? Only Murphy knows.

Bottom of the 9th inning! Last chance to even the score or win to win in Baseball.
Bottom of the 9th inning!
It’s late Thursday afternoon. The Webguy taps my shoulder, and I nearly jump out of my skin. “Do you have this week’s blog post?” It takes me a moment, as I am so deep into what I’m writing that it sounded like, “Do you have a blocked nose?” After my brain sorted this out, I answered, “no.” He offered to write it, but I thought I would just come clean. I don’t have it because I’m in the ninth inning of my book.
