Book One

Greetings, gentle readers.  As promised, my two mysteries, Scavenger Hunt and Obstacle Course, are now available at the Kindle Books section of Amazon.com.  And if i can figure out how to do it, I’ll show you the covers … Look!  I figured out how to do it!

These are the first books I published, set in the Capitol Hill section of Denver, starring Finny Aletter, a stockbroker who’s decided to take the carpentry skills she’s acquired while restoring her own century-old house and use them to build a new career for herself.  Before she can exit gracefully, her boss and former lover is murdered, and Finny finds herself at the top of the suspects list.  If she can’t convince Denver Police Detective Chris Barelli she’s innocent, she’ll never get to find out if it’s fear or attraction making her heart beat faster whenever he shows up.  And if she can’t discover if a rumored manuscript actually exists, she’ll never escape the world of scavengers.

Obstacle Course finds Finny launching her her house restoration career at a chi-chi party among Denver’s upper-crust but the celebration turns grim when a controversial judge is murdered.  Finny puts carpentry aside for detection when her patron and friend, Twee Garrett, becomes the prime suspect.  Finny’s introduction to the Denver social whirl becomes a fight for survival as she navigates the roadblocks of secrets and lies between her and the truth.

I had fun going through the books again, and I hope you will, too.  If you’d be kind enough to review them, I’ll love you forever.  The books will be coming out at BN, iBooks, and Kobo, as well as Sony, Ingram, and Overdrive over the next couple of months.

Avoiding writing, writing process

Although it made me very happy.

I’ve been busy-busy reviewing the e-formatted manuscript of my first mystery, Scavengers.  Thanks to the wonderful work of Nina Paules of eBook Prep, thiswas not an ordeal.  Since I always have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the next new thing, at least technologically speaking, I did whimper a bit and had to be sweet-talked into opening the files, but it all worked out.  And soon, gentle readers, my first foray into mysteries will be available at various venues.  My second mystery, Obstacle Course, will be next.  More about this later.

I’m also very near the point of sending off queries again for my current work, Edge of the Shadow, the first of the Wisdom Court paranormal novels.  Several good souls have read the manuscript, made corrections & suggestions, which I’ve noted and included.  I’ve almost finished the final nit-picky part and am printing it out, so it won’t be long.  It’s my goal to then get back to the second Wisdom Court novel, A Signal Shown, and finish it.  That won’t happen before the end of the year, but that’s okay.

I told you I’ve been busy-busy.  And now it’s time to hunt for a recipe for gluten-free fruit cake.  I am one of the few hardy souls who love fruit cake.  And now I can’t eat the real McCoy.  So, since last year’s recipe was a disappointment, I’ll try again.  Soon, so I’ll have time to soak it with brandy.  Or maybe I’ll just drink the brandy, and then try the fruit cake.  It’ll work.

Cheers!

Character, RMFW, Spock, writers conference

It’s been too long since I’ve posted, but that’s because things have been moving along.  I’ve actually begun the process toward digitizing my mysteries, Scavengers and Obstacle Course.  I’ve sent money and everything.  It should take about three weeks and a little longer for the second, and then I’ll start through the learning curve of getting them both up on sites, such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I’ve also decided to make one more attempt to get my first Wisdom Court book, Edge of the Shadow, in front of a publisher.  I’d just about decided to self-publish, but after the excellent panels at the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Conference, I thought that, before I start my own business, which is what self-publishing would be, I’ll give it another shot.  Writing time is at a premium anyway without adding more stuff I’d rather someone else do.  Like publish my book(s).   So, into the breach, my hearties, more polishing, queries, synopses–the activities that build my character (no, not characters, character.)  Have I mentioned how many additions I have on the structure that is my character?  I’ll write a tone poem about it some day.

As for now, since I’m getting sleepy, I will send my best hopes to all you writers out there.  May your manuscripts glow with the care you’ve given them, may agents and publishers wonder where you’ve been all their lives.  As a great writer once said, “Live long and prosper.” Surely Spock wrote as well as he did everything else.  (Ack, I’m trying to get my fingers to separate properly.  Oh, the hell with it.)

Good night.
