Although I haven't started writing the book yet, I've gone thru several iterations of its cover. This is the most recent one and the one I like the best (so far). #scifwestern #booksky

I've made big progress writing Ch 18 of The Nightmonger Murders. Two more chapters to go before I'm finished with the main writing.
Here's a bit from Ch 14. Nothing good ever happens after midnight....

I've completed writing Ch 16 of the Nightmonger Murders and mapped out the final 4 chapters of the novel, so I'm in a good position to finish my book (eventually).
Martel wasn't doing as well in Ch 13...

Martel gets grief from everyone, including butlerbots. This is from The Nightmonger Murders, sequel to my Martel PI novel The Ronin of Vine Street.

I haven't posted many quotes lately so here's one from Ch 13 of The Nightmonger Murders. There's a lot of spoilers in that chapter, but this one is not. It's also kinda cheeky...

I've been procrastinating about adding A+ Content (as Amazon calls it) to my book pages. Today, I finally put up something for my Martel PI books. It visible on the book pages under "From the Publisher":

After several tries, I have come up with this as a potential cover for my future scifi western. What are your thoughts on this? #scifiwestern #booksky

As is often the case, I like to play around with covers long before I finish a book, or even start one. Here is what I did this week for the novel I only just mentioned, just to give an idea of the title etc.

I've been thinking about my next book after the current one & I've settled on an idea from 4 years ago (see post attachement). On top of the original notes, I've added a bunch more. I'm calling it The Hellfellows of Floodwood #scifiwestern #booksky
