Goodness, what a week this is turning out to be. It’s a combination of some deadlines on some writing projects, some of the volunteer work that I’m doing that has a flurry of extra events, the regular things that I’m involved in, and of course making time for those delightful lunches that I have with my friends. Next week is going to be pretty crammed as well, but it truly is all good stuff.

Someone asked me the other day when the next scuba-themed novel was coming out and at the moment, I’m projecting late October or early November. We haven’t checked in on Police Detective Bev Henderson in the fictional town of Verde Key for a while since we’ve been off on adventures with freelance underwater investigator Chris Green. So, Shades of Deception will carry us back to see what’s been going on with Bev, Kyle, and the other characters in town. There will be more excitement for sure, although I am still working out a couple of plot points that I haven’t firmly settled on yet and I need to have a long conversation with an IT expert to make sure I can realistically set up a situation in a way that I think I can. The nice thing about returning to the Keys as a location is that I will be able to once again get to use one of hubby’s underwater photos on the cover. It’s always nice when I can do that.
