What is This Writer Up to Now?
Just to give you a taste of what's going on in the writing part of my life, here's a brief taste. I have finished my next Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery. Yes, it has a title, Spirit Shapes , which comes from a Native American quote which fits the stories. Yes, it's about spirits--many kinds--and is kind of a haunted house tale. I've read the entire story to my critique group, chapter by chapter, and they've made corrections and suggestions. I've printed the whole manuscript out. Now it's time to sit down and go over it line by line checking for typos, inconsistencies and anything I can do to make it better. Meanwhile, I'm on Chapter 5 of my next Rocky Bluff P.D. crime novel. I do have a title, but not ready to reveal it as yet. I'll read the first chapter to my critique group on Wednesday. And I need to keep writing so I'll have something to read to them at each meeting, and so I'll have the book done in time to send it to the publishers...
