Marcie's Murder Now in Production

Marcie's Murder, the second Donaghue and Stainer Crime Novel, is now in production. The final proofs have been approved, and the book is now on its way to print.

An advance reading copy has already been uploaded to Smashwords in order to provide reviewers with access to the novel. Would you like to beat the rush and get your e-Book copy now? Here's the link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/143300.

The cover art is now being finalized before being uploaded to the printer. We had a last-minute burst of inspiration and redesigned the back cover in order to include a second photograph by the very talented Roberto A. Sanchez, whose work graces the front cover of the novel. The file is now being Mac-ified and will be ready shortly. At the same time, the book block itself will be prepared using InDesign and the trade paperback version will go to the printer. Exciting times!

We're looking forward to a launch of the paperback in the middle of April, so stay tuned for further news.

Tomorrow, when I get up, I'm going to get right back into the first draft of the third novel in the series, The Fregoli Delusion. I want to have the manuscript done by July, and as Karen Stainer would say, time's a-wastin'!
