Book Signing and Book Three

The only thing that is constant is change. - Heraclitus

First, a reminder that I am having a book signing this Saturday, May 14, from 1-3, at Why Not Books? They will have book one and book two in my series for sale at a discounted price. I am hoping to also have copies of the recent Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine with my short story "The Chemistry of Heroes."

Folks have asked when book three in my rock shop mystery series is coming. Each book stands alone, but readers want to know what happens to Adelaide and Houdini, the escape artist donkeys. Stone Cold Blooded is beginning the publication process. I anticipate a mid-September release.

If you follow my blog, or publishing news, you know Five Star is ending their mystery line. How, you may ask, am I expecting to release book three? After much thought, seeking advice from authors, and talking to my husband, I decided to self-publish Stone Cold Blooded.

I am not doing this on my own. I am working with an experienced publishing outfit who will guide Stone Cold Blooded through the process. There is just too much happening in my personal life to handle the learning curve involved with independent publishing. A huge bonus is that my novel will have the same style cover art.

Change can be challenging. It is easier to stay in a comfortable spot. I had to make a decision about which approach would be best for book three. I consider this is a fun experiment. 

I have other novels not in my rock shop mystery series in process. My intention is to pursue traditional publishing for future projects, but I'm going to keep my mind open to other possibilities.

Because change is the only constant.
