Connie,
I enjoy using Goodreads to find and maintain a record of the authors and books that I have or intend to read. I am pretty sure I’m not unique in my reliance on their platform.
Your works visibility and sales would be enhanced if you added your picture and bio to your author’s profile page.
Would you please add your profile and photograph? What say you?
Hello John, thanks for the message and the Goodreads advice. I’m glad you found me there in spite of the lack and will add the photo and bio as soon as I can. Are you a writer or a reader or both? What kinds of books do you enjoy most? I look forward to getting you know you via social media. And let me know if you read my book. The second in the series comes out October 8th. Connie
Yes Connie I read #2 first and am know enjoying #1. That mean’s I am also keenly looking forward to #3
Wonderful! I’m so glad. I just turned book 3, The Art of Betrayal, in to my editor at Crooked Lane. Right now the pub date is spring of 2021.
Hi, Connie,
Did I miss your Grandmother’s cardamom bread recipe? I thought I’d give it a try. Maybe for the upcoming holidays. Thanks. So glad you’re so busy. That’s good news for your book, and it sounds like your new life of retirement and writing has been so exciting. God is SO good!
Katherine Duck
I had a really marvelous read with Book 1 and look forward to Book 2. I am partially Scandinavian, have traveled in the British Isles, have a possible connection to the Gunn tartan and am a current resident of Racine, WI, so these novels have a special meaning for me.
I can’t wait to read the second one!
Wow! We have a lot in common, Marcia. My family moved to Rockford when I was in 2nd grade, but I still get back to Racine for kringle at Bendtsen’s Bakery. I hope you like the new book. Keep in touch!
Hello! I Plan on attending the event on Dec 7 at the Mayfield Library. Will you have books for sale at the event? I know sometimes libraries don’t allow that, so I don’t know if I need to hit my local bookstore first or if I can just get them there?
Thanks so much!
I recently discovered your first book in this series and have enjoyed it so much. Having visited Scotland and the U.K., with ancestors who came from Cornwall, I am always looking for more good books set in those areas. Look forward to reading the remaining three in this series. I head up a small book club in Washington State and will be recommending A Dream of Death for our April 25th gathering. Any chance you could join us via Zoom?
Hi Carol! I’m so glad you like the series. I’ve emailed you separately!
I’m wondering if you would give permission for your article, Dark Secrets and Dastardly Lies: Ramping up a Killer Plot, as published in the May 9th, 2022 issue of Writers Digest to be reprinted in the North State Writers’ newsletter. We are a Northern California Branch of the nonprofit California Writers Club and produce a monthly newsletter focusing on writing craft and other issues of interest to our members.
Best regards,
Susan
Susan, did you get my email? I wasn’t sure it went through. I’m delighted that the article seemed worth sharing with your writers’ club. I just don’t know what Writers Digest would say. I passed along the request to my publicist. I’ll let you know. Thanks for getting in touch.
Susan, I just learned that as long as you say that the article first appeared in Writers’ Digest, you are fine. You probably knew that already, didn’t you?! If you decide to run the article, please send me the link!
