The dust seems to have settled somewhat. Scroll down to see yesterday’s view, and then compare it with today’s. Much clearer and calmer…
Which means I might be able to get out for a walk later this morning. I’ve stayed in as much as possible these last couple of days to avoid getting the dust up my nose (and failing most of the time), but today, like the sky, it is somewhat clearer. This leaves me free to push on into chapter 16 of the first draft of the next story in the new series which, I am pleased to say, is doing rather well. If you’re not sure what it is, you can find out more details here: The Delamere Files
There are three books in this series so far, each with a mystery, though the first book’s mystery is more of a setting-up of things to come. The second one takes old-school ties as its under-theme, and the third is set around the music halls. The fourth is called ‘Where There’s a Will’ and is about one of the two main characters, called Will, and his detective brother being called to the reading of a will. All are set in 1892. Which is handy, because I have a short book of short stories titled ‘1892’ and the journey six characters find themselves on happens not long after ‘Where There’s a Will.’ ‘1892’ is a good introduction to some of the characters from my Clearwater world of Victorian mysteries, should you be interested. {Click here} And yes, that is Jenine and Neil on the front cover.
Meanwhile… back at the real-world ranch, I’m off to tidy the kitchen table which is currently covered with half-built model cars, and my ‘book nook’ creation which is nearing the final stages of completion. Photos to come one day.
