Locke's Promotional Newsletter: September 2022
Dear Reader,
Hard to believe a month has passed since this newsletter last went out. It was, as anticipated, a very hot and humid one for us in southern California. Got up into the 100’s a couple of times, but so far we’ve been able to avoid the power grid collapsing. Unfortunately, there are a couple of fires to the northeast of us, but so far, nothing nearby. Despite the heat, or maybe because of it since writing does help distract me, I have continued to make good progress on Against the Tides of Acerba, which will be the sequel to the Caelestis Series trilogy. At just under 38,000 words, I estimate I am about half-way through.
In addition, my newest Victorian San Francisco Mystery novella, Mrs. Stein Solves a Crime, has continued to sell well, with great ratings. Although my current writing project is in my science fiction series, for those of you who are primarily mystery fans, don’t worry, I am beginning to think about the next full-length mystery novel. Mostly I am considering who, among of the characters from previous books, should show up in this one, since so many of you seemed to like this aspect of Entangled Threads. Between you and me, I really would like to come up with a reason to bring back the young trance medium, Evie May, from Uneasy Spirits!
While the discounts of my books this month continue to be audiobook editions (see below), I do want to remind any of you who are new to my work that the ebook editions of the first books in my two series, Maids of Misfortune, and Between Mountain and Sea, are free. Also, do check out Don’t Dare a Dame, the first book (free) in the historical mystery series about a sassy female private detective in the Depression. The series is by M. Ruth Myers, a friend and also excellent, award-winning author.
Hope you are having a good, book-filled Fall,
M. Louisa Locke
