Winter arrived…
Wouldn't you know, winter arrived last month with snow. Enough to shovel. Dang it. And then it promptly melted. I should have known we wouldn't get by with two pleasant winters up here.
I worked like crazy on my next Gangster book, and I did come up against some blockers but I pushed through them. With this one, I sent it to my beta readers at the same time as my editor just yesterday! I really want to get this one out in the spring, and wouldn't you know that my editor squeezes me in again and I've set it for an April 4 release! I'll be releasing the title and the cover of the next book very soon!
Upcoming Happenings
I'm still booking events for this year. All shows are in Minnesota, unless otherwise noted. Below are those that are upcoming.

If You're Interested...
Check out my upcoming blogs this month. For those who are interested in the person behind the writer, I'll be blogging about my favorite way to spend a day off (when I take one, that is) and what scares me the most . . . You won't want to miss these!
Stay tuned, happy reading and for those of you in the midwest, Spring is in sight!
