IT'S COMING!

I spent the weekend formatting and uploading the ebook version of A Barrel of Vintner (Justice #11). The file has been uploaded to all retailers. All the preorder links on this website have been populated. And many thanks to those readers who had their preorders in before I even announced it!

For those wanting a paperback version, the trade paperback will be delayed a few weeks. My regular formatter recently had a bionic knee installed, so she's working out the kinks. So I'm patiently waiting since she does a much better job with paperbacks than I do!

And now, I'm back to writing! Which is really the best part of this whole career. Meeting new characters. Revisiting old favorites. It doesn't matter. Writing is an act of creation, and it fits with this time of year.

Outside my window, a bumblebee is collecting dinner from blooming daffodils and dandelions. Yes, I let dandelions bloom in my surburban yard. The bumblebee and her pollinating sisterhood need to replenish their stores after a particular rough winter. I'm not going to starve the poor critters. We need them to keep this planet going.

Hopefully, I'll have a little time here and there through the rest of the growing season to spruce up the flower beds and plant some new blooming beauties. That way, the bumblebee and her kindred will have a little more variety for their hives' palette.
