The Final Twist is Unravelled

I'm always attached to the settings of my books. Even when they're fictional, they feel very real to me. This is especially true for Twisted Cedars, Oregon, the setting of my mystery trilogy of the same name.

After years of painstaking plotting, writing (and re-writing) I've finally completed the third book which will be released on February 25.

I am sad to be saying farewell to Twisted Cedars and all its quirks and charms. The Buttermilk Cafe, the Linger Longer pub, the wild bluffs that overlook the mighty Pacific Ocean... And so much more.

I'm even sadder to be leaving characters I truly love--librarian Charlotte Hammond, for instance, who at the beginning of the series "preferred her adventures--and her romances--between the covers of a book," and true-crime writer Dougal Lachlan who learns to accept and live with his family's secrets over the course of the 3 book series.

The only upside to all these goodbyes is knowing that the stories are now ready for my readers. I can't wait to re-explore the world of Twisted Cedars through their eyes. Please know I read every review and appreciate every email I receive from my readers.

Twisted Cedar Mysteries (in order)
Buried
Forgotten

exposed: A Twisted Cedar Mystery

Happy Reading!

Janet I am so looking forward to February 25th. I pre-ordered Exposed as soon as you listed it on Amazon. I'm kind of glad that you're wrapping up the mystery series, but I will miss the town of Twisted Cedar and its inhabitants. It seems like such a long time ago when I first read A Buried Tale, later updated as Buried.

I've read a lot of your other books over the years, and I'm never disappointed. You've got a knack for writing great stories. Keep up the good work!

C.J. Carmichael Hi Janet, thanks so much for your message. Your kind words about my books really mean a lot to me. And thank you for persevering with the Twisted Cedar stories through all the delays. I'm kind of sad about the series ending, but also really excited to re-live the excitement through my readers. I can't wait to hear what you think of book 3. Please do let me know. I hope you find the ending really interesting and satisfying!
