I can’t believe it’s finally here! What a challenging journey this has been – I wish I could blame the long time between book two and this one on the Pandemic, but it’s only partially responsible.  :)  However, I can tell you I’m already super close to finishing book four, BURYING THE DEAD, so the wait should be MUCH shorter this time. :)

Meanwhile, the launch party is happening TODAY from 4:00 to 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time in my Facebook reader group, Kerry’s Kindred Spirits! Thirteen authors will be hosting fun, games, and giveaways. And don’t forget to enter the Grand Prize giveaway for signed print copies of ALL THREE of my Dead Books. Click here to join the group, or see this post for details, including the AMAZING line up of participating authors. Hope to see you there! 

We had SO many entries for the Super Secret Giveaway last time that I decided we needed TWO winners. So, congratulations to  Barb C. AND Katrina D.! Thank you - and everyone else - for entering, and keep those responses coming. Even when I don't have as much time to respond as I'd like, I love hearing from you.  :)

Speaking of which, in case you hadn't noticed, I have a new book out TODAY, and it's been a LONG time coming.  :)  So for the SSG this time, hit Reply and tell me: What's the first book or author where you remember highly anticipating their next book? I read a LOT growing up, but much of that was classics or older books (Jane Austen, Tolkien, etc.). So for me, the one that stands out is Diana Gabaldon's Voyager. I devoured both Outlander and Dragonfly In Amber, and then had to wait, and wait, and wait for the next book.  :)  

I'll choose a random entry from all those received by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday January 8, 2022. Winner gets their choice of a $5 gift card to Starbucks or Amazon, so send me your responses!

In the meantime, hope to see you later today in the Damning the Dead Release Day Party in Kerry's Kindred Spirits! Until the next Very Occasional time...
