Yes, you heard it here. After three LONG years, I finally finished writing my sixth book in the saga of Bernice and Evan and the mayhem that seems to follow them everywhere. And oh, what mayhem I’ve created in Woman in the Wind. There’s gunfire, explosions, corpse tampering, and so much more. And let’s not forget all the sex (and romance, there’s romance too).

I’ve dug through all the other books to reintroduce and fill out other characters from Bernice and Evan’s past. It was actually a lot of fun for me to do that. It makes for such a rich story and it sparks these great plot angles that would have never occurred to me otherwise.

I’ve gone through some pretty hefty life changes these past three years. I hope I didn’t disappoint my readers with the long wait, but to be honest, if I had been able to push out a book with my usual schedule of one a year, this book would have been a different book, and I’m not sure it would have been as good.

I’m surprised and happy with the great backstories, vignettes, and plot twists that only came into being in the last few months, weeks, even days. I believe this book accomplished the things it was supposed to in Bernice’s universe, the good, the bad, the sexy, and the murderous. And I think my readers will be delighted with the ending…of this book, anyway.

So, here’s the deal. I have my manuscript ready for my beta readers (thanks guys!). I will post my preorder on all my ebook distribution channels this week (I’m shooting for Halloween because it seems fitting, but no promises). I’m setting a release date for the finished product as December 26th (which should also give me time to get the print book up and running on Amazon). That means, you can order the ebook THIS WEEK, and it will automatically show up on your electronic device on it’s release date.

But wait, there’s more (cue the obnoxious infomercial voice)! The same week I release Dairyland Murders, Book 6: Woman in the Wind, I will post my preorder FOR THE NEXT BOOK (sorry about all the caps, I’m just really excited)! That’s right, folks, Dairyland Murders, Book 7: Pastor in the Pasture will be available for preorder at the end of this year. How’s that for making up for lost time?
