The new book, Between Good And Evil, is set in the small New Hampshire town of Auburn Notch (fictitious). I spent many years in NH skiing and enjoying all nature has to offer up there, so it was an easy choice when I was deciding where to set the new book. Great people, and a great place to visit.

One of the most exciting aspects of being a writer is meeting with readers. Fellow crime lovers who just can't get enough murder and mayhem. I enjoy every book signing, every panel discussion, and look forward to meeting up with old friends and a whole new group of readers with the release of Between Good And Evil.

For me, writing is about the characters I've created. It's exciting to step into the world I've imagined, following along as my protagonists are drawn deeper into a problem, dodging danger and death along the way, to finally solve the puzzles I've created for them.

I'm working on book 4 of the Ernie Bisquets Mystery Series and a standalone thriller. The thriller is almost done and I'm really excited about it.

Never give up. I received nine months of rejection letters for my first book, but then 1 week I got 2 acceptance letters. A rejection letter doesn't mean your book is bad, it just means it wasn't right for the person you sent it to. Just remember, it's one persons opinion, so keep submitting until you get it in front of the right person at the right time.

I keep two books going at the same time, so when I'm stuck on a plot point on one book I move on to the other book until I work through it. The books take place in different locations with two separate groups of characters. It works for me.
