A New Miss Fortune Mystery Novella: The Pajama Murder

Deputy Sheriff Carter LeBlanc was a fine young man, Mary-Alice thought, although a bit lacking in imagination. He seemed to believe civilians had nothing of value to contribute to murder investigations—that their place was to answer questions and otherwise stay out of things. In Mary-Alice’s opinion, he was quite mistaken. Local businessman Buford Fontleroy Deale […]

A new novella in Jana DeLeon’s Miss Fortune World: The Two-Body Problem

Professor Gwendolyn Jackson’s husband sends her a voice mail from the road, telling her he’ll be home soon. Just one problem…by the time the message was sent, he was already dead. When the police dismiss her concerns, Professor Jackson turns to her former student, Fortune Morrow, for help. Naturally, Fortune, Mary-Alice, and the rest […]

Sinful Science, A Miss Fortune Kindle Worlds Novella, is now available on Amazon.

A graduate student from Hawaii comes to Sinful, Louisiana to finish his fieldwork. He’d planned to spend a peaceful few weeks studying swamp rats. Instead, he discovers something that leads to Sinful’s darkest secret.

I hoped my protective feelings toward Deputy Sheriff Carter LeBlanc weren’t too obvious. Against all of my training and better judgment, I’d done the one thing an undercover operative is never supposed to do: I’d gotten romantically involved. Things hadn’t progressed very far yet. Just a couple of dates, an innocent kiss, and me saving his life once or twice. On the plus side, Carter was handsome, goodhearted, and apparently attracted to me. On the minus side, I was living in Sinful under someone else’s identity, so our entire relationship was founded on a lie.

I’m grateful to Jana DeLeon for opening her hilarious Miss Fortune world to other authors via Kindle Worlds. I had a lot of fun in Sinful, Louisiana and I’m already planning to go back.

My First Fanfic: Starting a new Kindle Worlds project #amwriting

Kindle Worlds is Amazon’s legit-fanfic platform. You can write a story in another author’s world, although you’re limited to the (nearly fifty) worlds that Amazon has approved.

I’m going to give it a go.

My last book in 90 days effort was a success (the result was Molly Barda and the Blessed Event) so I’m going to follow the same steps this time. One thing I found really helpful last time was the character table; it made it easier for me to “talk” to the characters, as insane as that sounds.

The character table

With the school year in full swing, I expect that this will consume all of my spare time and some of my sleep hours as well. Here’s the schedule:

Full outline and character table by Day 14
First draft by Day 49
Second draft by Day 56
Submit to editor by Day 63
Re-submit for second pass by Day 73
Publish on Day 90

Stay tuned!
