Tessera Trilogy blog 

Happy New Year. Good health to you all.

Last minute cleanup of Sooley Base involved removing all links to Amazon.com and B&N to comply with fine print with BookBaby.com, and reshooting the cover to comply with type of format and size required.

The final novel of the Tessera Trilogy, Kashan Kashmeeri, is now a work in progress. Most characters transition from Golden Gate and Sooley Base, plus new ones. New excitement awaits, new intrigue, new twists.

Kashan Kashmeeri has been collected of bits and baubles of plot, characters, and timeline; the task remains to put them in better sequence and into credible dialogue. There are currently 72 pages and 38 thousand words in the working copy, but LOTS of segments are being researched and slowly integrated into the novel.

Beyond KK, two other novels are in the works – TNO, and PD. I can’t spoil it and tell you more, but they have preliminary characters, plot line and action.

If you’re a poetry fan, check out the coming issue of the Riverside Writers Group anthology. It should be available the end of March through the RWG website …

Also, if you’re interested in a detective romance story with great plot twists … see Judy Allen Hill’s newest novel – The Secret Diary of Ewan Macrae at http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Diary-Ewan-Macrae-ebook/dp/B00F13N3MI



Joanna Bourne, Deanna Raybourn, and Susanna Keasley are three New York times best selling romance novelists whose books are noted at the “Allaboutromance” website, or  http://www.likesbooks.com/ . They came to our local library …Meet three dynamic New York Times bestselling authors, Deanna Raybourn, Joanna Bourne, and Susanna Kearsley, at a Salem Church branch reception. Deanna is the author of the popular Lady Julia Grey and Nicholas Brisbane mystery series; Joanna writes the Spymaster historical romantic thrillers series; and Susanna's works have been compared to those by Diana Gabaldon, Daphne du Maurier, and Audrey Niffenegger. Deanna, Joanna, and Susanna will discuss their books and answer questions. The reception will include a book signing and refreshments.  The three spoke to a full house of enthusiastic readers and they shared innumerable insights about writing. Among there were: The only thing as intellectually equivalent to writing a novel is composing a symphony’; In the middle of every novel (I’m writing) is the end of my writing career.”; “We’re all just story tellers.”; “ Write like you speak.”; “A good writer gets a little bit weird.”; “I prefer my characters to my neighbors.”; “Heroes (in my novels) drive awesome cars.”  One of the authors wrote a book published by Penguin Books whose title is “Black Hawk.” She (Deanna) stated that the title was not of her choosing, and when she questioned Penguin about the choice of “Black Hawk” none there admitted to knowing that a Black Hawk is a US Army helicopter of significant notoriety.  …   Any wonder I self publish and choose my own titles.
