The Ghost of Valentine Past

HautingDanielle_BOOK7While waiting for The Ghost Who Came for Christmas to go live, I’m already working on the next book in the Haunting Danielle series—The Ghost of Valentine Past. Its release date is Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2016—and it is already available for pre-order at Amazon.

I recently discussed on my  Haunting Danielle Facebook page a question I frequently get from readers: Will there be more books in the series?

The answer is yes, providing the three following conditions are met. As I said in the Facebook post, all three conditions must be met.

1. Readers of the series want more books. What would be the point in adding more books if no one wants to read them?

2. I must have fresh new stories to tell. Fortunately, ideas for Danielle and the people of Frederickport keep popping into my head. But if that stops—and my stories are nothing but a rehash of previous stories—then I shouldn’t be writing them anymore. I want the characters and storyline to evolve.

3. I am physically able to author the books. Last year around this time, I decided not to put the book I was working on up for a preorder. The reason—I had no idea if and when I could finish it, because I was facing breast cancer. I am happy to report I am feeling pretty good these days and back to writing fulltime, but I understand we never really know what is around the next corner.

A reason to stay home on Black Friday!

Yep, the Ghost Who Came for Christmas goes live on November 27, 2015.

But if you have your heart set on getting trampled at the mall, you can pre-order the eBook and when you get back from shopping, you can kick off your shoes and curl up with the book. It’s available at Amazon, iTunes, Smashwords, and Kobo for pre-order. It will be at Barnes & Noble after November 27, 2015.

Haunting Danielle Paperbacks, a work in progress.

PaperbackI’m hoping to have the first six books of the Haunting Danielle series out in paperback by the end of the year—but I’m not making any promises. So far, the first book in the series, The Ghost of Marlow House, is available in paperback.

Before releasing the paperbacks, the manuscripts are going through another review. I wish I could say I rarely if ever find a mistake when reviewing one of my books—which has already gone through beta readers, an editor and proof readers. But that would be lying. I have come to the conclusion evil gremlins sneak into my manuscripts after they are published and switch words here and there, change a few names, and move commas around. I’m certain that’s what’s going on. I’m doing my best to keep the gremlins AWAY from the paperbacks versions!
