A notorious gang puts a bounty on Detective Cady Matthews’s head after she takes down their leader, leaving her no choice but to hide until she can testify at trial. But her temporary home across the country on a remote North Carolina island isn’t as peaceful as she initially thinks. Living under the new identity of Cassidy Livingston, she struggles to keep her investigative skills tucked away, especially after a body washes ashore. When local police bungle the murder investigation, she can’t resist stepping in. But Cassidy is supposed to be keeping a low profile. One wrong move could lead to both her discovery and her demise. Can she bring justice to the island . . . or will the hidden currents surrounding her pull her under for good? Hidden Currents is the first book in the six-book Lantern Beach Mystery series. Each book contains a standalone mystery, but there are overarching mysteries within the entire series. Get it now for
Yeah, it’s been a while since I last posted but I assure you, I am not dead. :)
I decided to jump-start my running again, and since I don’t run consistently if I’m not training for an event, I signed up for the 2017 Honolulu Marathon. It’s going to be harder this time since I’ve gained so much weight since the last time I ran (maybe 10 pounds?) and I have to take care of my ankle, which I sprained at the last marathon in 2010 and it still has a bit of scar tissue. However, I’m going to a chiropractor about that and my ankle seems to be doing well. I’m also armed with KT Tape and Rock Tape, Phiten discs, ankle wrap, and massage cream. Please send a prayer for me that I can be consistent in my training and not get (more) injured.
I’m getting The Spinster’s Christmas translated into Japanese! I was able to hire a woman from my church who is a professional translator, and she is doing about a chapter every 2 weeks. Now I have to figure out how to format an ebook in Japanese, with vertical text and running left to right.
I am also getting anime-type illustrations done for the book so it will be like a Japanese light novel. This is my first time working with an illustrator and so far the drawings have been really good. The Japanese version will be released in three volumes, so I had three covers done, and the illustrator is doing a black and white illustration for each chapter. Here’s a preview of one of the covers. Isn’t it awesome?
As for writing, I’m working on the second book in the Lady Wynwood series and hope to have that done by April or so, and then it’ll go into editing. I will also have that second book translated into Japanese. If I can, I’ll also have illustrations done for that one, too, and the illustrations will be released with the English-language version.
And for those of you wondering, I do hope to return to the Gentlemen Quartet series after I finish this book in the Lady Wynwood series. I have 3 other books (loosely) plotted for my musical Gentlemen.
If you belong to my email newsletter, you'll be sure to hear when the next book (Gentlemen Quartet or Lady Wynwood) is available.
That’s what’s up with me! How can I pray for you?
