I'm cutting it close but I've rearranged scenes and added new scenes. Trust me. The final outcome will be worth it!
A teaser quote:
"Every December. Always addressed to 'Jeremiah, Willowcroft.' No street name. Just two words."
Two weeks to go!

I'm having so much fun adding extra clues and red herrings in this one!
I've started my Christmas Village to amplify the vibe while I get through the revising and editing of my snowy Christmas-set mystery.
FYI: 50 % is in regards with ready to publish. The book is written, it's the cream and cherry on top stage before final edits, formatting, backmatter and all the extras that make a book ready to be available.

I am working on Book Four every hour of every day! I have over 700,000 words written that need turning into a cohesive story. Wish me luck!
