I am working on books in another genre right now under another name, but am kicking around the plot for a book about Marian Prescott, Kit Babcock's cousin. I have written the opening paragraph; it came to me all at once a few months ago.

I get to work out my frustrations and turn situations into scenarios that are much more satisfying than real life.

Do it. Takes notes on everything--scraps of paper, whatever. Write as much as you can. Be observant. Listen. The words add up.

My most recent--upcoming--book is THE FOURTH VOTE, and will be released by the end of 2014. I discovered the title first, quite by accident. This book happens to be the fourth in the series (not including a prequel). I was in a continuing legal education class in June 2013 at the Kentucky Bar Association's Annual Convention in Louisville. A justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court was the speaker, her topic a recent US Supreme Court case which reversed the Kentucky Supreme Court. She said that she ended up being happy not to be "the fourth vote" to reconsider the case at the state level, because the case went to the US Supreme Court and is now a very important case. I loved that phrase "the fourth vote"--and it stuck. The story actually came later.
