In June of 2017, I met Dallas and Todd Bell at the Roundup Dinner at the West Texas Writers’ Academy. They had recently opened Burrowing Owl Books on the Square in downtown  Canyon, Texas.  The store has new and used books. In fact, it’s the only used book store from Oklahoma City to Albuquerque. Check out their website: https://www.burrowingowlbookstore.com. Better yet, drop in for a browse.


Dallas said they displayed a section in the store for local authors. My books Pepperman’s Promise and Perplexityhad been released a month prior. It’s exciting to have my books on a shelf in a book store.







One day Dallas and I were talking and she told me she liked my book titles starting with a P and hoped I would continue doing that. She said her family had been discussing the P alliteration at their dinner table and came up with some P words that would be good in a mystery title.



She gave me some great words, but I didn’t tell her I had already chosen the title for my next book. It’s nearing completion and will be out in the near future.
I think it will make Dallas and the Bell family happy.
