Read acknowledgment pages. Join Twitter (You don't have to post. You will find lots of writers like yourself. But don't look at what's trending. It's fool's gold.)

A second Lewis Sinclair novel. He and the Cowboys get involved in shenanigans at a public television pledge drive.
I'm also working on a sequel to a novel that's sort of a mix of Hello Sunshine and Far From the Madding Crowd.

I send my characters to a party or gathering of some sort. A scene with food and jocular conversation. It usually leads somewhere and it's fun to write.

My first inclination is to say Poldark because I love Cornwall. It's my very favorite place I can imagine. But there's a lot of disease and poverty in the Poldark books, and not a lot of creature comforts. So, instead, you can plop me down into St. Mary Mead. It'll be plenty comfortable and scenic. Maybe I can persuade Miss Marple to take a train trip to St. Ives.

Richard Osman's next Thursday Murder Club and Robert Thorogood's new Marlow mystery. These two write good puzzles with genial intriguing characters.
