The Write Stuff

Last spring and summer the website Florida Outdoors RV published a serial that I wrote  as a sort of humorous murder mystery under the title Camping Can be Murder. Since I later used that title for the bundled set of the first three Frannie Shoemaker mysteries, I have retitled it The Long, Wrong Trailer and published it on Smashwords for all ebook formats. It is just over 60 pages, so a quick read, and absolutely free. It is also on Amazon but currently at $o.99 because Amazon won't allow me to price it free. They may change it when they see it is free somewhere else.

Punk and Patty Jo Norton are retired and Patty Jo (PJ) talks her husband into buying an used trailer to try camping. Their first trip is to a nearby park on Halloween weekend and the holiday festivities are being sponsored by the dealer  they bought the trailer from. Shady dealings, Punk and PJ's blunders, and hijinks at the festivities result in a body at the bottom of the cliff. Whoops.

I am also working with a cover designer on the cover for The Time Travel Trailer, a little venture into sci-fi for me. She just sent me the first concept yesterday and it's really exciting.

And the Self-Published Author's Workshop we are planning at the West Liberty Library for November 15 is coming together nicely. We have eight other writers from southeast Iowa and Illinois coming to share their experience in publishing ebooks and print books, marketing, and building a social media platform. This will be an opportunity for writers and people who would just like to publish something like a family history for personal use to learn the nuts and bolts. These writers represent fiction, memoir, young adult, poetry, and non-fiction genres. Lots going on.
