Mary Louisa Locke's Monthly Newsletter
August 2024
Dear Reader,
The bathroom remodel is completed, and two weeks ago I officially declared myself no longer “on vacation.” I wish I could say that all my health issues have been resolved, but I am still dealing with something called trigger finger in the middle fingers of both hands, which may require surgery. However, for now, I am pleased that by using the dictation software on my laptop and a splint on one of my hands, I have been able to continue to do my daily newsletter posts, and I have started back editing the first draft of In Ddaera’s Embrace, the fifth and final science fiction novel in my Caelestis series.
Meanwhile, I have continued to put up my short stories for free on my daily substack newsletter, An Aging Author’s Daily Diversions. So, if you would like to read my posts talking about the origins of the short stories, Dandy Detects, Madam Sibyl’s First Client, and The Misses Moffets Mend a Marriage, as well as read the complete stories, do click on this link and go to the first post, on April 6, 2024.
I am also continuing to discount audiobook versions of my books, and currently the boxed set of the first three books in the Caelestis Series is on sale on Chirp for only 99 cents.
I hope to be back with some more discounts in September’s newsletter, and an update on how the editing is going.
A reminder of my Ebook Perma-free books:
Maids of Misfortune: A Victorian San Francisco Mystery (Book 1) This first book in the series permanently free and you can get it on Kindle and all other Retailers.
Between Mountain and Sea: Caelestis Series (Book 1) This first book in the series permanently free and you can get it on Kindle and all other Retailiers.
