Hello friends. I hope you’re all enjoying Pine Cone Point, the first book in my new On the Cape romance series. I just wanted to let you know I’ve already started work on the second book in the series.

I’m not talking about plotting out the story or developing new characters. That’s already done. I’m well into writing the first draft, and I don’t mind telling you it’s been going very well.

As some of you may have guessed, this book centers around Melanie. She was Brooke’s best friend in the first book. And before you ask, yes, all the old characters are back with a few new ones as well.

Unfortunately, these are the only teasers I want to give you at this time. Look for book 2 in the series to become available by late March or early April. By the way, I’ve already got book 3 planned out. That’s how excited I am about this series.

Once again, thanks for reading, and until next time…

Hello friends. I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. Since I posted last, I’ve had a few dramatic setbacks. Some good, some bad. I’ve been battling an illness the last few weeks, but have no fear, everything is good now. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much writing done while I was sick. That’s the bad news.

Right now, I’m not in Florida. I’m in the Northeast. Boston, to be exact. I live in South Florida now, but I’m originally from New England. It’s wonderful up here this time of year, but I’m not on vacation. I’m here for a couple of graduations. Two of my sons and my nephew are graduating, and I’m up here for the ceremonies.

My nephew is graduating with a masters degree in chemical engineering, my middle son is graduating with a masters degree in bio-pharmaceuticals, and my oldest son has finished dental school. (Yes, a dentist in the family.) I’m still waiting to see what field my youngest son and my niece get into.

I went to college myself, but these kids make me feel dumb. Things have changed so much these days. It just seems like you have to take your education much farther to get anywhere.

I’ll be up here for another week, and I plan on continuing with work, but you know how it is when you go back home. Everyone wants to see you, and lots of family events and get togethers take place. I’m not complaining. I’ve missed them all so very much, but working at my normal pace is going to be a challenge.

However, here’s the good news for those of you waiting for the fourth book in the Bullets & Doves series. Even with all these delays, most of the first draft is finished. Just a few more short chapters, an epilogue, and I’ll have it all wrapped up. Then a couple of weeks for the edit, and I figure I should have the book for sale–or download for you kindle unlimited people–by early June.

Sorry this book took a bit longer than usual, but all these things that popped up really slowed things down. The worst was the illness. I had factored in the trip to New England, but when I got sick, it just pushed everything back. Also, this book is a bit longer than the others, so that added to the time delay as well.

Everything is now back on track, and like I said before, you should be able to read the fourth book by the beginning of June. Thank you for making this series so popular. I hope you are all having a magnificent spring. Until next time.

Hello friends. Things are going well and on schedule with the fourth book in the Bullets & Doves series. However, as we all know, things happen and life sometimes gets in the way. In another post, I might have mentioned this one would be ready for release by late April.

That might have been a bit premature of me to say. I’m probably going to take a few extra days for this book. There’s a lot of story to tell in this one, and the first draft is definitely going to be longer than the other books in the series. When I edit the whole thing, it just might be shaved down, but it’s an intricate story with a lot of things to consider. We don’t want any loose ends, now do we.

So, taking all that into consideration, I’m probably looking at an early May release. The story itself is going very well, and practically writing itself. I’ll have it out to you just as soon as I can. Thanks.

Hello friends. Just a quick update. I’m about halfway through the first draft of the 4th book in Bullets & Doves. I should be finished in a couple of weeks. Then maybe a week or two to edit it, and it should be ready for release by late April or early May.

I have to admit, I’m having a lot of fun writing this one. Like usual, it’s another classic western with a fair bit of romance. After all, a western isn’t a western without strong male and female characters, right? However, this story is a bit different. It centers around a hunt for gold. Hope you like it. Take care, and until next time.

Hello friends. I am proud to announce McCabe’s Last Stand: The Trial of Cassie Dodd is now available for sale. It is also available in Kindle Unlimited for the time being as well, so go ahead and download it ASAP. This is the third book in the Bullets & Doves series, and it was a heck of a lot of fun to write. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Nothing gives me more pleasure than when I hear from one of my readers telling me how much they like my books.

I’m sorry I missed my deadline by about a week, but I had visitors recently. My son and his girlfriend came down here to South Florida from Boston for a brief vacation. I had not seen them in quite a while, so I just had to put things on hold and enjoy spending some time with them.

I still have a few loose ends to tie up, but rest assured, I’m already working on the plot for the fourth book in Bullets & Doves. A rough estimate for that release would probably be sometime in mid- to end of April. I actually want to have five books completed by the time summer rolls around, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

By the sales numbers and pages read, I can see that Bullets & Doves is turning out to be a huge success. Like I’ve said in other posts, I plan on writing many more books in this series. Don’t let that intimidate you, however. As most of you already know, these books are standalone, and can be read in any order.

Once again, thank you for everything. You are the best readers any author can ever hope to have. Take care.

Hello friends. Everything is on schedule. The third book in the Bullets & Doves series will be out late this week or early next week. I’ve got a couple of chapters left to edit and I should be done. After that, it’s just a matter of formatting and uploading, which does not take long.

I would have been done much sooner, but I’ve got some guests coming this week and I’m running around getting ready for their visit. I think I’ll take some time off during the week they’re here. I need a bit of a break. I’ve been going at it without rest since October. Barely took any time off during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

That’s okay, however. The hard work is paying off and I’m glad you’re enjoying the series so much. Thanks again. Until the next post.

Hello friends. I’m on the last scene of the book. I should be finished the first draft in the next day or two. After that, about two weeks for the edit and other things. The third book in the Bullets & Doves series is on schedule and should be available sometime in mid-February, as I stated in previous posts. Thanks.

Hello friends. Hope you had a good weekend. I wanted to write a short post to let you know everything is going according to schedule for the third book in the Bullets & Doves series. I have one third of the book completed, and at this pace, I should have it ready for release by mid-February like I wrote in a previous post.

The new, streamlined format I now use to write my books has been great for me. It allows me to get the books out to you much sooner than I used to before. For those of you that are enjoying this series—and the numbers I’m seeing tell me that many of you are—hold on because you’ll have the third book in just a few weeks. Thanks.
