There was an old TV commercial about a rejoicing parent buying school supplies to the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” His kids are watching and looking as sad as sad gets.
While I love spending summer time with my grandson who lives with us, I admit to having a renewed sense of freedom this week. Our summer was full of activities, vacation, and finding snails and was loads of fun. But when I focus on that kind of fun, I forget about the things that make me tick: writing, promoting my books, and connecting with readers.
So, I admit to heaving a sigh of relief when I started writing this newsletter to finally reconnect with you. As luck would have it, I also have a book coming out this month, and I want to be sure you know about it. It’s the third installment in the Frankie Shep Suspense Novella series. Read an excerpt below.
Choir Loft Murder Excerpt
Someone cracked open the side door usually used by the choir. Frankie caught a brief glimpse of something shiny, but she was too preoccupied to pay attention. Instead, she watched Sarah with awe while the music reached a crescendo. Sarah flawlessly executed the high note. Her voice was beautiful, her eyes closed, and her face so relaxed it revealed a woman in her happy place.
Then her voice went flat before stopping altogether, blood gushing around a dart in her neck and spraying Mrs. Williams. Sarah landed with a thud at Mrs. Williams’s feet, gasping for breath, staring at the ceiling.
When the dart whooshed out from where it was lodged in Sarah’s neck, Frankie rushed to Sarah to apply pressure to the wound.
The ebook comes out August 24, but you can pre-order Choir Loft Murder right now on Amazon.
