I'm excited! Yesterday I signed a contract for my second book in The Third Eye mystery/suspense series entitled DEADLY SINS - DEADLY SECRETS. The release date for the book is set for Nov. 1, 2007.

Plus, I received a review on the first book this week -- my first one -- so I feel like a kid with a new toy. The review ended with a marvelous blurb:

I visited Orange three weeks ago and, while there, clued a friend to your books, but she couldn't find any of them in either the library or the local stores. The folks there seemed not to know of you.
I know you say you're living in Georgetown, but don't you also promote on your home turf?
Let me know where I can have my friend pick up her own copies.
Thanks.

Hope you have continued writing success this year. I'm getting back to work after too long a break. Perhaps I'll have a new zeal since the holiday season is over.

One for GMC (Goal Motivation & Conflict) and the other is for feedback from a readers percpective. I have the next two books in this series already plotted out. At least my plan is working so far. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Oh, my, but I am behind the times. I just came across the note you kindly left on my page back in May and don't know if I ever responded to it: I certainly hope so, and apologize profusely if I did not.

You asked about which of the 11 books in my Dick Hardesty Mystery series you should start with (and thank you for wanting to read them): The series began with The Butcher's Son, but any of the books will stand alone. The main advantage to starting at the beginning is to follow the growth and development of the characters. But again, you can't go wrong with just starting anywhere.

Again, I apologize (either for not responding before, or for repeating myself if I did). Life ain't easy, kid.

Best,

Dorien
