GOOD NEWS! Friends, my Maryvale series has a home! I've just sent back a signed contract for: THE DEVIL IN MARYVALE; THE NELSON SCANDAL; and the TR for the (hardback just out this past month) third, RECIPE FOR TROUBLE.

The contract also includes the new Maryvale I'm working on now (thumbnail will follow in another post) and for a Maryvale mystery each year.

I'm thrilled to have them all in the same place at last - with the provision I can still send other things other places, no problem there.

Anyone who is interested, Vista is now having one of its card sales - 250 cards (which you can design yourself) for S&H only - about $5.95 - a few cents less than $6.00 - a good deal.

Anyone who wants to ask questions or tell me about his/her successes and new novels or other goodies, please leave a comment or e-mail me. I'd love to hear about them.

From the author who asks the question "Has my alligator mouth made promises my tadpole a--s can't keep? Tune in next week! :-) Break's overl!
