Work Wednesday: New Duxbridge Novel

I am heavy into the second book in the Duxbridge Mysteries. I don’t have a title yet, but do have a solid story.

Because of that, I haven’t written the first installment of the Evolution of TJ Wilde: Full Sail, yet (you can see the stories about Run Aground and Underway here).

How about a few photos of my birthday thrift store finds to make up for it? The 1950s Royal typewriter (with the green keys!) absolutely stopped me in my tracks. I didn’t even hesitate to grab it. It works great, was clearly well taken care of or restored. Types great, looks even better.

Duxbridge Audiobook Updated

Duxbridge Audiobook users, the voice has changed on the book now. You can get the new voice if you like by deleting and downloading the book again.

I really HATED the old one and the new one is much easier to listen to, possibly because she had a deeper range.

Saturday Morning Harvest

Been such an up and down veggie garden season so far. Today’s assessment – my San Marzano tomatoes are just beginning to produce fruit, so they probably will not survive the first frost.

My jalapenos went from no peppers to a plant full – nice surprise.

Living the life

Jasper came to live with us four years ago. He was six and we had a lot of work to do bring him back to health. Though his first visit with our vet proved that besides being seriously underweight, he was generally healthy.

One of my favorite parts of writing is the improbable puzzle of it all. I usually set up an idea of what I want to write, create a compelling (or at least I hope it’s compelling) opening sequence, and generally know where I’m going to end up by the final chapter. Then the magic happens.
