Welcome back to my new and seasoned Book friends!
I'm back(ish) with Episode 104 of the BookCast. Despite the weather, the podcast mic AND the coffee are HOT and ready or not, I'm here to share what's been happening in my reading and writing world.
Book REPORT: I'm at 190 books out of my 200-book reading challenge for 2024! This week, I dove into some quick reads including:
The House on the Water by Margot Hunt
The Next Grave by Kendra Elliot
Technically Speaking by Michael Elliot
Stranded by Chris Bruno
On the writing front, I've been incredibly productive! Festival at Evergreen Falls will be out before the holidays, and I've just finished a newsletter exclusive called Olympias on King Street. It's about a plus-size lingerie boutique owner and her landlord, with a twist I think you're going to love!
I'm particularly excited about my progress on Missing Persons, a project that's been brewing since I wrote Dinner at Sam's. It follows Yvette Young, the investigator who helped Gibson track down Vanessa's husband.
I recently had a wonderful time at the Tinsel and Tales event at the Bookworm Bookstore in Powder Springs, where I got to hug and catch up with fellow authors like Sharon C. Cooper and Dr. Vanessa Riley.
I'm feeling optimistic about 2025 – it's looking like it'll be my most prolific year since 2020. It's nice to be back in the lab.
Until next week, I'll be here drinking my coffee, enjoying my cream of wheat (I'm in my winter hot breakfast era!), and working on new stories for you.
