And In other news...
These months of forced isolation and worry have had impacts on writers in various ways. At times its been difficult to block out the distractions and concentrate well enough to be creative. At other times, being forced to keep only our own company has given us lots of time to work! Barbara has been hard at work finishing the eleventh Inspector Green novel and has just sent the manuscript off to Dundurn Press. Now the waiting and editing process begins, along with cover design and early promo. It has been lots of fun to be back with old friends, and Inspector Green has enjoyed being back in the hunt again!
The book comes out in October 2021. Stay tuned for the title and the cover reveal.
