Goodreads asked Annette Laing:

What are you currently working on?

Annette Laing The last book of The Snipesville Chronicles. When I started the series, with "Don't Know Where, Don't Know When", I was a history professor stuck in a stressful job, who was at the beginning of a period of bad health. The novel was my midlife crisis, and it began purely as self-indulgence. I had no intention of shopping it around agents and publishers. I published it myself, assuming that my family and friends might buy a few, while the rest would end up in the garage.
I am ending the series having changed my life. Writing "Don't Know Where" led me to look backward, reconnecting with people who had been important to me in my youth in Britain. I enjoyed traveling to museums and historic sites, and writing books 2 and 3. I started bringing my "Non-Boring History" programs to schools and libraries. And I have met so many kind and enthusiastic readers of all ages, which is just amazing for a self-published author. Now I live in the Big City, and it is time to say goodbye to the small town in Georgia, and my characters. I will miss them all very much.
