This is the time to write – or read

Happy New Year everyone, even if it’s already a couple of weeks old. We went to my favorite country – France – and enjoyed some warm-ish days on the Med in Marseille. I got quite a bit of writing and editing done, which was necessary given my ambitious plans for this year (one Romance and one Mystery to release with the publishers, plus my Da Vinci Mystery series I finally want to self-pub).

“Spirits of Gascony” is still on track for a March release, so stay tuned for the cover release.

In the meantime, I’ve got a recommendation for a great book I read during my stay in France. Geneviève Cogman, the author of the “Invisible Library” series has a new novel out – “Scarlet”, which is about Scarlet (har, har) Pimpernel, but with vampires. For those of you not familiar with the Baroness Orzcy’s novel: It’s about a British nobleman saving French aristos from the Guillotine during the French Revolution. For reasons I don’t wish to disclose (yet) I went yee-haw when I found this and even bought it in physical form, something I rarely do these days.

I loved every bit of it and wrote a Goodreads review, which you can find here. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6102882608?book_show_action=false#_=_

Happy Xmas to you too!

First of all, sorry for going MIA in the second half of the year, but life got a bit wild. 2024 is now set to get a lot better, since we have some GREAT news:

My Pararnormal Romance “Spirit of Gascony” will be published in Spring with the Champagne Book Group.

The third Magical Misfit Mystery “Out of Body” is due to be published in Summer with Literary Wanderlust.

And I have three Da Vinci Cozy Mysteries, starting with “Spelled in Ink” I will self-publish as soon as I have some clear dates for the other two.

I also have a little christmas present – if you send me a message, I’ll send you a link for a FREE download to “In My Attic”, my first Magical Misfits mystery. You can also subscribe to my newsletter – I promise I won’t spam – and then you get the companion booklet to go with it.

A merry xmas to you too!

Sorry, I went MIA in the second half of the year for various reasons, most of them not good. Fortunately, things are getting better and the outlook for 2024 is truly great.

First of all, my Paranormal Romcom “Spirits of Gascony” will be published with the Champagne Book Group, hopefully in March!!! Stay tuned for updates.

My third Magical Misfits Mystery “Out of Body” has been accepted by Literary Wanderlust – HOORAY! – and should come out in the summertime. In between, I want to FINALLY self-publish my Da Vinci Cozy Mysteries. Three are ready, the fourth has been written. I simply need to find the right timeslot for them, which to me would be either shortly before or after “Out of Body”. So, that would mean three books out in 2024 – at least.

For those of you who haven’t read the Magical Misfits yet I’ve got an early Christmas present – contact me here on my site, and I’ll send you a link to a FREE download of the first in the series”In My Attic”. And if you register for my newsletter, you’ll get the companion book as well. Don’t worry – I won’t spam. Have a great celebration and a happy new year.

Facebook Takeover in “Cozy Mystery Village” tomorrow!

Want to know more about me and my novels? Want a chance to win two FREE electronic copies of my Magical Misfits cozy mysteries? Then head across to Facebook, to the Cozy Mystery Village group, where I’ll be participating in an author takeover tomorrow at 5 PM EST
