Hi Janice! I am excited to learn about Confederation Drive, but as a crime fiction fan I'm wondering when we can expect another Randy Craig book? Another Margaret was two years ago now and you left us on a bit of a cliffhanger lol.

Hi Debbie,
I appreciate your question. One of the things I have tried to do with the Randy Craig Mystery series is to allow the character to age realistically so readers can follow her through several stages of her life, from a naive grad student to a mature woman in early middle-age who has still not quite found the footing in academia she had hoped for.
NO SPOILERS HERE, but I know exactly what you mean about the Randy/Steve cliffhanger and am eager to wrap up their story. I have another Randy mystery about halfway completed—and even did research in another country for the first time—but the honest truth is that the series' long-time publisher has not yet offered me a contract for another book. It can be extremely hard to place a new book in an already established series (this would be book #7) with another company, so here’s hoping that the publisher will find a place in its schedule for the next mystery, which is tentatively titled The Day of the Iguana.
Cheers,
Janice
