Writing News

I've finally completed most of the edits for the second Beachtown Detective Agency Mystery. I won't go into why this book took so long, but I will say there's been a LOT going on around here almost all year. While that situation won't change for about a year, I at least feel like I'm moving forward slightly. In any case, The Case of the Beguiling Brooch will be released on November 19. I hope you love it!
