In an attempt to try and be more diligent in my writerly blogs -
which are technically supposed to happen once a week, on Wednesdays
(sorry, I'm a day late) - I am endeavouring to make the round-up post a
monthly feature. This will be a regular update on forthcoming releases,
works in progress and promotional appearances. Without further ado,
here is the news for this month.
COMING SOON:
The MUI re-release of DEATH SCENE is at line edit stage so progressing well. Still no confirmed release date, but likely to be end of June. Watch this space for more news.
Edits on DEAD COOL are also progressing. This is scheduled for release in the Autumn, so it's likely to be September/October time. My editor has been enthusing about what a good read it is, so I am feeling encouraged.
PROMOTIONAL NEWS:
I've been busy with the publicity train this month, with two guest appearances in the first half of June, and I'm talking about DEATH SCENE and my writing process in both. Marsha R West features me as her Tuesday author chat and I'm also chatting to fellow crime writer Joan C Curtis this week on her Joan Says blog. Joan and I are clearly on the same wavelength - not only do we both write crime, but we have both got the same idea for blog names (since mine began life as Sara Says).
Next month I will also be attending the Theakstons Crime & Mystery Conference at Harrogate, Yorkshire, to hang out with other crime writers.
WORK IN PROGRESS:
I am nearing the end of the first draft of the 1960s crime thriller. As this is a collaboration with my husband, I will be handing it to him once the first draft is done, for him to do some work on it. We've never collaborated on a project before and this one is in an early stage, so it will be a bit of a learning curve for both of us.
And the third Shara book is currently demanding quite loudly to be written. So I would like to get started on that soon.
That's about it for this month. Further updates to come in July!
