New in the Candlestone Inn Series!
 Case #2: The Case of the Vanishing Valuables
In the first book, The Case of the Stolen Scarab, the Taylor-Michaelsons--Nikki, Travis, and their moms--have just moved into and opened the Candlestone Inn, which they're still renovating for guests. But before they know it, they're right in the middle of a mystery involving a valuable Egyptian scarab, stolen from a museum in Boston.
But now, not long after Nikki and Travis have solved the scarab mystery, they're plunged into another. In Case Number 2, The Case of the Vanishing Valuables, business is booming. In fact, when the inn is full and the Taylor-Michaelsons are still renovating the inn's third floor, unscheduled guests arrive! Mom and Louise adjust quickly and decide to rent out the two most nearly finished rooms on that floor.
The trouble starts almost immediately, when Nikki, Travis, and their two moms discover that valuable objects--a silver pepper shaker, a porcelain figurine, a couple of etchings, and more--have disappeared.
Is Lexie, their new maid, the culprit? One of the guests? Or--as one of the unscheduled guests suggests--the ghost of a disgruntled former owner of the old inn?
Join Nikki and Travis in their quest for answers in The Case of the Vanishing Valuables, Case #2 in the Candlestone Inn Series! (Two Lives Publishing, ISBN 9780967446882)

I wish I dared say more about the novels I'm working on, but I'm superstitious about doing that till they're actually finished!
But here's what I can say: I have almost finished writing and doing preliminary revisions for new a novel that's probably for kids from 10-14. I'm also trying to get confirmation and input from some very special kids and adults for a new teen novel.
What's the time frame for these two novels? I hope both will be ready to look for homes by the end of this year if not well before--but again, there's no guarantee that anything that's in progress will actually come to pass, especially in today's complicated publshing world!
In the meantime, I feel honored and excited to have been asked to contribute to two worthy projects. One of these isn't quite ready to be talked about yet but I'll fill in that blank as soon as I can!
The other project is an anthology of short essays about bullying. Its purpose is to raise the public's awareness of how very serious this sad and sometimes tragic scourge of childhood and adolescence really is. I hope to be able to say more about it as time goes on! |
