Well, okay, I had the best of intentions when I announced I was started this blog in earnest. Somehow life -- in this case death and illness in the family -- has kept it from getting done.

Tomorrow is the last day of my giveaway for Deadly Memories. Have a fair number of people entered in the contest and have generated some interest in the process.

Am working hard to focus on finishing the setup for Deadly Bayou. I'm getting there. My goal is to have this book planned out in its entirety before I start writing. Although I won't reach my goal of starting the writing the first of June (due to that pesky life thing mentioned above)I hope to do so by the middle of the month.

For a description of what I think about outlining vs. writing by the seat of your pants, check out this blog post from my recent virtual tour:

So, yea me! I got a blog post in this week. Now on to work on that second book. For all of you kind readers who are already interested in seeing a second book about Jayne and Saul, I still expect it to be published early 2014, even if I'm behind a little on my personal schedule.
