Almost Ready

Friends,

My third Anne Droyd novel, Anne Droyd and the Ghosts of Winter Hill is finished and has been proofread.

The book is currently with my typesetter. Once it is ready, we can set a date for publication.

Exciting!

The first two stories, Anne Droyd and Century Lodge and Anne Droyd and the House of Shadows are already available in paperback and on Kindle. Read more of this blog post »
