My Next Book
I responded to a question in the comments stream a few posts back, explaining when my next book — #3 in the Bellaire Gardens series — would be out, but some readers missed it, so I’m explaining again.
I heard from my agent that it would be May 2024.

Plus it’s hard to find the time — I find it almost impossible to work on two stories at the same time. But his story is still very much in my head, so I feel sure his time will come.
