Great question! Just kidding -- I'll be putting out the final release date along with other updates on my blog in 2 days.

October 15th. I had planned on releasing it sooner, but like everyone else, I had my life slowed down by recent events. Of course, it now seems obvious the book should be released near Halloween, so I'm glad I waited. Thanks for the question, and I hope you enjoy the book.

Hi, Mary. His name is Jinxy. However, like most housecats, he has a long list of endearing/insulting nicknames. Fuzzy butt, tuna breath, and kitten face are just a few of them.

Hi Santosh,
July is the target date. I might have it ready sooner, but I'm giving myself a little more time to advertise. Also, the title has been changed to The Opening Night Murders.
Thanks for asking.

I had written a play about twenty years ago. I came upon it and reread it. It wasn't very good, but I loved the setting (the Mississippi Flood of 1927) and I thought it would be a great place for a murder and a detective.

I've always read murder mysteries and loved them. I know the genre isn't held in high esteem, but I don't care. I read Death of Jezebel by Christianna Brand and I was so enchanted with it that I began writing.

I'm working on Nemesis. It isn't technically a sequel to Goodnight Irene, but it takes place in the same universe. It's also a murder mystery, but perhaps a more conventional one in terms of structure.

The hours. You can work whenever you want.

When I have writer's block, I try to visualize scenes instead of writing. It will usually solve the problem.
