My latest book attached to my serial killer series. Tentative title is….Family Always. I keep working on it and it is growing…now past 23,000 words.

With two of the killers dead at their own hands, two more have joined back up. More surprises coming.

I am working on a background picture for the cover. Many of my books sport local photos that I took.

Still researching info on potential new series bases on real people, my relatives. My family tree includes ex husband’s family because of our daughter and grand daughter. With more than 1200 names, I just need more facts.

Stay safe, wear a mask and live.

Well, I may be slow but my new book has reached >20,000 words. So, this weekend I will be editing and re expanding this first twenty thousand words of my rough draft.

Editing is not my favorite thing but the book always improves.

How is your day?

I am also re doing my sales sign. I have ne fed to do it, but my old computer died and my book covers were mostly gone. This is good though because the new computer scanning system is different. New learning.

Stay happy and Covid free.

I have to admit that my writing has slowed as my quarentine attitude makes everything more appealing than writing.

Even so, my current book is past 17,000 words. This is just the rough draft. Editing always adds many words.

How is everyone? Okay, I hope. Wear a mask in public to be as safe as possible.

Last Wednesday or Thursday, I discovered a short file of the same new book that I am currently writing. I quickly read it over and discovered the story lines diverged.

I nearly just plain deleted nearly six hundred words. Instead, I put it away and took two days to visit a person similar to one of the characters.

Advice: Don’t delete your work.

After returning home, four hours of smoke in my eyes and throat, I rested. Finally, I read the old file. Deleted on paragraph, and merged the other into the beginning as a preface.

If it doesn’t work, I can still select and delete.

Family Always

Newest book is progressing slowly while I prepare for fall. I have re-editted the first ten thousand words and passed twelve thousand.

I have introduced two new killers who are of Bill’s age. They have just met.

More later on Stay safe.

Fourth volume of my serial killer series is progressing well. Nearing ten thousand words.

Tentatively changed the title to Family Always. Added two players from the past.

Agent Roberts is retired but just as involved. I don’t like to give things away, but more is being revealed.

That’s all for now.

The Lost Branch v.1 free on ebook starting 8/15 for a couple of days.

Some of you may have developed a less than positive attitude. Get rid of it. Call someone, eat junk, walk the dog.

Then, get on with life. For me that is catching up on everything I shoved aside to finish a book.

The sixth book in my sci-fi series is up and I have moved on.

I am now working on my website, research for new historical fiction series and writing book four of my serial killer series

People love the large print. Since I now call the shots, only the first few books are normal print.

Be safe, wear a mask.

Cheesey, but it helps me start. Bring the living characters back with an update on them. So far, Isaac is back. Michael and James. Tory has not shown up yet, but he will be next. Or Retired Agent Roberts.

Yes, I am still researching, but not an hour a day. More is revealing itself, I think it would go faster if I could visit living relatives…..

Sixth book of my sci-fi series just went on line. Taisyd Revisited… available ebook and paperback.

Moving on.. researching new historical fiction. There is so much it is overwhelming me.

Solution…one hour research and development..then I will begin a fourth book in my serial killer series. My brain is mandating this.
