Hi ,

My last email to you said how I was feeling guilty that so many of my stories and projects were taking so long. And then I didn't email for two weeks. Sheesh. Do you even remember who I am?

Did you see that Netflix was doing a 6-part adaptation of Pride and Prejudice? After the disaster they made of Persuasion, I wasn't sure what to think. But then I saw they hired Olivia Coleman to play Mrs. Bennet and Fiona Shaw (who played Wentworth's sister in the 1996 adaptation of Persuasion) to play Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and now I'm excited. Or at least hopeful. 

I've been working on a new series that I hoped to start sharing a free story with you this week, but tech issues abound. Maybe next week. 🤞

The next Valentine mystery has been giving me trouble, and then, out of blue, a great idea came to me. I can't go into detail, but I'm excited to get restarted on it. If you haven't checked it out, I posted the first two chapters of this story on my website here.

I still don't have a title for this book. I always refer to it as "Dead guy in the row boat." If you have ideas, let me know. 

I'm working on two anthology stories for Devious, Delicious Decades. They're outlined, but I haven't started writing yet (story of my life...I have so many stories outlined or the first acts written...)

Proceeds of this anthology go to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) so I hope you'll check it out. You can learn more and Preorder here
