I Finished a New Book!
I finished my latest book today!
Hooray!
Book 13 in the Alaric von Trelow Mysteries is complete.
It's called 'The Baltic Refugees'.
It was my most complex challenge yet, and I loved writing it. As usual, it took a lot of prep, but once I started writing it came together well. I started typing on the 20th October - so just over three weeks, which isn't the fastest, but it's up there. Once I get an idea in my head I just have to get it down.
It's about 70,000 words, so not huge, but intricate, with layered stories told by the characters revealing their psychology using period correct psychoanalytical methodology to interpret.
Really fun to write.
Now, of course, I have to do all the proofreading, editorial passes etc. So, still a way to go. However, I think I scheduled it for a 2027 release, so I have time.
Maybe I should just publish them quicker.
I also have to do final edits on the next book I'm publishing just after Christmas - 'Springtime in Paris', book 4 in the series.
And, as always, there's another book to write. This one will be called 'Dangerous Jade'. I already have the plot and research done. Fine tuning before that one starts - I just have to have a book on the go.
Anyway, take a look at the currently published ones. I'd love to get your feedback:
Prussian Blue
The November Criminals
Red Berlin
