Well, friends, the final proof of the next Clyde Smith Mystery has just arrived in my inbox. I need to go through it with a fine-tooth comb then it's off to the publisher.

All the familiar faces will reappear in a new case for Clyde. This time, one very close to home. More details coming very soon.

It will go to the publisher in mid-August, after which, all going well, will hit the shelves mid or late September.
