Charlie Cochrane Alas, I was faced with an unenviable choice. Stop writing the series, make Campbell immortal (he was already pushing the age boundaries for Newfies) or let nature take its course. I opted for the last, which is either very brave or very foolish. It all happens off page and Hamish is the new pup on the block.
Charlie Cochrane The plan, as I understand it, is for them to be available eventually. As and when I get dates, I'll try to remember to let you know.
Charlie Cochrane Oh yes, still in business, although they did have an issue with responses a while back (due maybe to weather-related power outages, although I may be getting confused?) I'm working on the next book in the series, which I should be submitting over the next few weeks, other projects willing.
Charlie Cochrane For the first dozen books, I'm afraid you'd need to contact the publishers and ask them. For the novellas, I may be able to do something directly.
Charlie Cochrane Hi Greg.
I'm guessing that the .1 and .2 books are the freebies (if you could give me the titles I'd be able to be more help to you.) All my free stories can be found here: https://charliecochrane.wordpress.com...
Yell if you need more.

Charlie Cochrane Hi Daniel. Short answer is, yes. I'm currently 80% through the first draft of the next book - however this one's a crossover with one of my other series (the actor detectives, Toby and Alasdair.) Hope that helps?
Charlie Cochrane I'm doing edits on the next one 'as we speak'. It's called Lock, Stock and Peril.

:)
Charlie Cochrane Did I answer this? Please forgive me if I didn't. I suspect this came before Old Sins (book 4) launched and I've just finished book 5. Riptide have the audio rights so you would need to ask them. :)
Charlie Cochrane Hi Megan
I am the worst person to ask this, because I always read series out of order, so I'd say 'go for it'. However, some readers have found it helps to start at number 1 and go through. Others have dipped in and out.
I'm not sure if that helps or hinders?

Charlie Cochrane No jelly babies in the cupboard. And my tea's gone cold.
Charlie Cochrane The latest LC Tyler John Grey mystery, some Kipling ghost stories, a reread of Agatha Christie short stories - just for starters.
Charlie Cochrane Hi Lyra. The first 8 books were indeed with Samhain and they are contracted elsewhere for release later this year. Alas I'm in the position of not being able to share dates and publisher yet. (Books 9-12 are still available, with Riptide.)
I promise I'll share news about their republishing as soon as I'm allowed to.
Charlie Cochrane The identity of my maternal great-great-grandfather. Read more at https://charliecochrane.wordpress.com...
Charlie Cochrane I am, Sharon. I have book 3 just about written - just need to get it submitted, etc. Been a bit too busy with other things, alas. Thanks!
Charlie Cochrane Hi Sharon
Have just finished first draft on the third one so watch this space for news.
Many thanks
Charlie
Charlie Cochrane Laurie and Andrew from 'The Charioteer'. They are so ordinary and yet so complex - and so subtly written that every time I read the book afresh I gain some new insight.
Charlie Cochrane Thank you! Yes, I'm sure there will be. They just have to tell me what they've been up to so I can jot it down (if that makes any sense).

In the meantime I've got a short story featuring them coming out in a free anthology next month. Will post links here.

Fond regards
