With the ushering in of a new year, I have set a goal to have my next book's rough draft completed before ushering this year out. However, if I happen to have it edited and ready to publish prior to the end of 2023, I will be thrilled beyond belief! (I like to keep my goals manageable so I can feel like an overachiever if I exceed them.)

If you've enjoyed Shards of Trust and #The Cry Beyond the Door, you will definitely enjoy this book. It is the third in a series of Darla Kelly mystery/suspense/thriller books. Though currently untitled, I will update readers when I have one.

Although I was tempted to end the Dar Kelly's story with The Cry Beyond the Door, a plot began to form in my mind. If you are a writer, you know how difficult it is to let ideas go without exploring them further. Initially, those great ideas got a bit tangled along the way, but twenty-eight chapters later (and a new time/plot line), I'm all in! I can't wait to see how it ends! But of course I do know the ending, and will leave it to the reader to discover it as well.

May all your new beginnings in 2023 be followed by the happiest of endings, unless of course it's a book. Then all bets are off.
