The Arbor Scribe

I can now mark off one goal I set this year. To get all three of my Royce Thorne Mystery Series novels published and available. After that was done, I was looking through files to see what other unpublished work I had that needed to see the light of day. Lo and behold, found one that is available, and has been for some time, in ebook format, but not print. Reading it, I came across characters from the Royce Thorne books. I remembered that one or two Thorne book(s) characters inhabited Ringer Blues, but not as many as there are. With that discovery, a tag line for the book cover popped into my mind. Prequel to the Royce Thorne Series. Deciding I wanted it to be slightly longer than its not quite one hundred pages, I'm adding a short last section. All three Royce Thorne covers are shown in the sidebar as well as the Ringer Blues cover. I hope to get Ringer published within a month. Look for them at your favorite online retailer to order or download, or order from a brick and mortar store!

So Royce talked a little about herself last month. I hope it whetted one or two, maybe, possibly, readers' interest in reading her full adventures in Disguise for Death, Encore for Death, and Fury for Death. All available in ebook and print formats. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone might want to peruse an interview with Chief Jared Granite. Is he the hard man his name might imply? He might be next up, never can tell.

Maybe we'll try and catch up with Yardley next month. She seems to be back from wherever she went to skip this past cold winter. Apparently not all of it, though, since it was still winter when something got me off the non-writing 'funk' I was on. She, or something, mercilessly lashed me the last few months to GET THOSE THREE BOOKS out in the world! Well, little Muse, they are. And thank you for the delayed encouragement. I'm sorry, can't blame you, can I?

Here in East Tennessee, it does appear that summer is on its way. I say, yippee and hallelujah! I began to think cold nights would never end, even when so many of the beautiful spring blossoms sprang forth early. One gift the winter brought me was being able to have my second great grandson on many weekends. He stayed with his father this school semester and attended a local school. The same school my daughter, his grandmother, and my husband, his great grandfather, attended. When work prevented his dad picking him up in the afternoon I did so. He'll be returning to his mother in another state in a few weeks. I will miss him.
