I’m at it again.
Spent this week plotting a new book. I’m currently working on IRIS, book 4 in the Minnesota Marshalls series, and oh, this is a fun one. The little hint I’ll give you is that I’m using this book for research…
Currently, the story looks like this:
Which then translates to this:
But I’m getting WAY ahead of myself because next up is book #2 in the series – JONAS.
So, first, thank you for all the sweet reviews about Fraser! He’s quietly been climbing the charts while you’ve been leaving kind reviews, and I’m grateful.
So, I’m just back from a fun writing retreat with 8 authors and my business partner for a publishing company I run (Sunrise Publishing) – and we got to chatting about book themes,
I’m still holed up in my writing cave, but I’m coming up for a quick breath to say “Wow! You guys are really excited about the Minnesota Marshalls Series!”
GOOD! Because I am too! That’s why I’ve been head down, fingers clicking away day and night, to finish the next book in the series.
Happy New Year! Okay, I’m twenty days in, I know, but I’ve been nose down into a project (I call it my writing cave) and am just coming up for air.
And it’s been a fun project…so fun that it sort of swept me away for most of November and December.

What I love is their balance between regular guy and masked crusader, and the struggle to keep that secret.
I’d like to think I have my own secret identity.
Just a quick note, because I’m in the middle of packing to travel back north, (more on that next week!!) but I didn’t want you miss Your Last Chance to get the Preorder price for the newest Deep Haven book. (I just LOVE the cover!)
It hits the stands tonight at midnight!
I know, I know–long time no hear. I’ve been head down, working on a story! (Oh, I can’t wait to tell you ALLL about it—it features one of the Kingston brothers from Alaska. His name is Ranger, and he’s all cool headed and serious until the woman he loves goes missing…more on that later!)
But,
Remember the fun Dr. Suess tale, Horton Hears a Who? I loved reading that book (and later my son starred in a Suessical version of said book), but my favorite line is when all the Whos, who live on a speck on a dandelion, start to raise their voice as one saying,
So, you know how it went…last year was the crazy year.
The year we all found ourselves doing something different. Staying at home. Homeschooling, maybe. Reading more. Making foods we hadn’t tried. Mostly, living outside our comfort zone, right?
