A Sneak Peek at the New Sydney Brennan Book, and a Quick Dive into the World of Dialect
The latest Sydney Brennan, River Bound, is well on its way to hitting your hands and ereaders before Christmas. The manuscript is in its third and final copy edit pass, with my editor and I currently engaged in a profanity hyphenation debate (smart-ass or smartass, with both of us arguing both sides). And I haven’t forgotten you Luddites (I say that lovingly, having spent last weekend moving heavily laden bookshelves)âthe paperback cover is on order. I mentioned before that Iâm not setting a solid release date. This time of year, thereâs a bit of spinning-the-wheel quality to when non-Preorder books Read more…
Wake Up from Your Turkey Nap–the Next Sydney Brennan Book is Here! (Almost…)
I donât know about y’all (we had proper cornbread yesterday, so I’m allowed to drop a y’all), but Iâm hiding at home right now. Black Friday (the shopping orgy the day after Thanksgiving, for the non-Americans or those who just woke up from 1960) frightens me.

Every week, I find myself blurting out, shocked, Itâs Friday?! and scrambling to figure out what to write. Itâs not that Iâm behind exactly; Iâm just treading water and counting on not getting a leg cramp. I was doing the math on my 2017 production schedule this week (bless Excel formulas when they work), and it wasnât pretty, but it was doable. Barely. But that does mean Iâll probably be making some changes around the Blog and social media to focus Read more…
Magpie Moments: The Appropriate Hurricane Beverage (If It’s Good Enough for Jimmy Buffett…)
Aloha! Being Friday and all, I thought Iâd take a break from my week of soul-sucking, admin-type things (the next âdashboardâ I see better have a V8 engine attached) to give you a quick Magpie Moment, one perfectly themed for your upcoming weekend. âIâll have the margaritas waiting,â Lisa called out. Our mother had always preferred drinking margaritas to hurricanes at a Hurricane Party. (Sheâd said it would take more than seventy-five mile-per-hour winds to make her drink anything so vile.) Chapter Thirteen, No Safe Winterport Having lived in New Orleans, Iâd have to agree with Sydâs mom. Hurricanes are Read more…
