WHAT WRITING PROJECT IS COMING NEXT?
The scenarios for the
upcoming and untitled book number five of the Annalisse series are floating
around in my mind even as I’m releasing book four, Copper Waters. When
writing, I typically imagine one novel ahead. Where the next book will take
place, and how to lead the reader there as they reach the end of the current
work. Each chapter in every one of my books is designed to finish as a segue
that asks the reader to jump into the following chapter—propelling them forward
with a strong desire to find out what happens next. My motto, “mystery at a
killing pace,” highlights my writing style; short, punchy sentences that
get to the point quickly and move on while applying conversational dialog. My
last blogger review used a word to describe the pacing in Copper Waters
as meteoric. What a great word!
Book Five is on the virtual shelf at
this time. Instead of jumping into what happens after Copper Waters,
I’ve decided to temporarily break from the Annalisse and Alec story and write a
fresh standalone unrelated to the series. Sticking with my love of mysteries
and him/her relationships, I’ll have new characters ready and willing to
experience troublesome times together! The new story takes place in a
fictitious town located near the panhandle of Texas during a very cold winter. My
protagonist is a culinary gourmet or sorts. An out-of-work pastry chef of her
own choosing—where life has taken her closer to immediate family. She’s moved from
a celebrity’s personal chef position in California to be with her father after
the passing of her mother. More than one suitor, (a known and an unknown,) will
vie for my main character’s affections as they solve unexpected havoc occurring
in a vintage home built during the Civil War era. A home she’s inherited from a
close family friend.
It will be a challenge for me to switch
gears away from Annalisse’s adventures, but I’m up for it! Once I’m well into
the outline for my next book, I’ll announce more details like the title and
possibly the cover artwork.
Thank you, Jazzy Book Reviews, for joining the Copper Waters and series tour of the Annalisse series.
