No problem! I'll also be working on a sequel to Rooftops of London this November, for National Novel Writing Month.

I am! :D My current book is The Trivial Venture; it follows the escapades of Captain Ithaca Vain as she tried to make her way in the world of piracy... And runs into rather curious road blocks.

This one will be coming out on Nook and Kindle in just a few weeks! I'll keep you posted. :)
