November and that means National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) to many authors. My first three books were drafted during NaNoWriMo months back in 2012-2013. I've tried it a couple times since, but always had to drop out (real life can be a pain at times).
This year I'm determined to use it to get into the habit of writing daily. Getting my office set up with a monitor and keyboard for my laptop has certainly helped. Sitting on the sofa with the television on in the background just wasn't conducive to being productive.
What am I writing? I'm starting my Red Line Coffee series. Set in the fictional town of Jumpers Hole, three firefighters run a coffee shop together. A wide cast of locals, a dead body or two, various other mysteries will keep you jumping!
I've finished the first draft of the prequel, Roast & Rumors, and am now working on book one, Ventis & Victims. The prequel will introduce all the regular characters and hopefully whet readers' appetites for more. I'm unsure of the publication date. Maybe my readers can help? Here's a quick poll - I appreciate the input!
Since the last newsletter, I did get the prequel, Paradise Dawn, to my C'Mon Inn Mystery series published and it's available on Amazon for only $0.99. It gives us the back story of how the Thompson twins arrived in Hawaii as well as a little more mystery. I hope you enjoy it!
Desire, Drama, Death on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.
Kauaʻi is home to the C'Mon Inn B&B run by Betsy and Anna Thompson, elderly twin sisters. Mysteries abound while friendships flourish.
C'Mon Inn Mystery Series is set on the island of Kauai and deliver action, adventure, and friendships along with the whodunit mysteries.

Megan Davis, a small-town hairdresser, loves jogging in the nearby park in the morning and solving murder mysteries in her “Mystery Book Club” in the evening.

Not only is the woman dead. Her face is covered in blue dye. Hair dye.
