And a happy New Year! Thank you, to all of you who've stuck with me through what has been a strange and tiring year.
I turned in the manuscript for the Hollywood murder mystery that will probably be called "Scandal in Babylon" - a new mystery series whose heroine, Emma, an English WW-1 widow, acts as secretary and dog-brusher to her gaudy and extravagant sister-in-law Kitty (a.k.a. silent film vamp Camille de la Mare)... it's good to be writing about 1920s Hollywood again, though this is straight mystery, no fantasy.
I've turned in outlines for another Ben January book and a second book in the Hollywood series, though I won't hear anything on them for awhile.
I've been spending part of each day prepping for the history class I'll be teaching in Spring: MUCH more work, as it's a live-online, streaming-over-Zoom.
And I've been working on a couple of further adventures, though it's been difficult going, with all else that's going on.
I'm planning an extremely quiet New Year's Eve, even by my standards - and I habitually leave whatever party I'm at at 10:30, so I can be home well before midnight.
To all of you, a safe New Year's Eve, and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Happy New York! I look forward to reading your new series. I hope that you get the green light on your new Benjamin January book. I absolutely love this series. It is on my All Time Favorites list.

Happy New year!! I’m excited about your new mystery series, and thrilled to see another Ben mystery in the works. Ben and friends have a special place in my heart, as I am from New Orleans and spend an embarrassing amount of time tracing Ben and Co. lives when I am out and about. I’ve even picked a house on Esplanade, which I call the “ja bier residence”. Have a wonderful year!
