Latest News from the Author
I had to get out and clean some crusted snow and ice off, so writing time got reduced to a couple of hours only. In good news, we passed our fire inspection so the new furnace is now legal. (Murphy’s Law: If the furnace is going to go out, despite being only six years old, it will wait until the temperature plunges into the subarctic zone …which it did.)
In other good news, and in the realm of writing and novels, Lisa Baarns, one of my book narrators, just finalized Night Trouble and so we’re waiting on ACX/Audible to approve the audio book for release. Happy day. Here’s a sample of the audio book!

EDITORIAL REVIEW
For me to stay up turning pages is rare. This story moves and keeps moving. It got under my skin. There is an attention to small things, an attention to details that takes you right into the scene as if you’re there, yet the story never drags, or at least it didn’t for me, despite only having one dog instead of lots like the author’s other series. And what a dog! This boy is a good, smart dog, smarter than his person. I really was hooked all the way through. Highly recommend. —Larry Hubbard, beta reader

NOVELS IN THE WORKS
Coercive Power, Book 2 of The King & Midnight K-9 Mysteries
The book is about halfway done. What’s it about? Mike is fighting off the military’s attempt to press gang him back into service while Mogollon County land owners are besieged by what seems to be destructive behavior by rowdy teens. The hidden truth is much more insidious, though.
Coercive Power is already available on pre-order
