What does a writer do between drafts of a story? Well, that depends.
I finished a first draft of my upcoming fourth story in my Shelter of Secrets series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It still needs some work, but it’s currently in the hands of my excellent beta reader.
I’ve had a fun few weeks–including my usual writing. Plus, I heard that the Dog Writers Association of America, of which I’m a member, was looking for humorous articles for their upcoming issue of RUFF DRAFTS, their publication, so I of course had to submit a short article about how my puppy keeps me from concentrating on my writing by insisting that I play fetch with her while I’m sitting at the computer. Humorous?
I recently got word that my next Alaska Untamed Mystery, CRY WOLF, number two in the series, is now scheduled for publication on November 7. I love the cover! And the series is the first in which I’ve taken a pseudonym: Lark O. Jensen.
It’s not my only remaining book this year. I was already aware that my Coltons of New York book for Harlequin Romantic Suspense is also a November release. CSI COLTON AND THE WITNESS is officially out on November 27.

Linda, I totally ripped a page out of your blogging book and ended my blog with a question to the reader. Thanks for the inspiration. It works beautifully!
And Lyndi, I'm a fellow Pennsylvanian, from Scranton. Opposite corners of the Keystone State.
Glad you had a good time, Linda. Pittsburgh is my home town, but I haven't been there in decades. Probably wouldn't recognize it now.
I will be at RWA this year and I'll see you on Saturday.
Thabnks, Geralyn! Yes, I did see some of those movies and enjoyed them.
Wow – Linda – your trips back east sound charming and right out of a Mystery Woman movie. Did you ever catch that series of cozy tv movies on the Hallmark Channel about a small bookstore owner who always had a mystery to solve? There were 11 movies in all, starring Kellie Martin.
And I LOVE that you are an active contributor to Read Humane! Everyday, you help make the world a better and safer place for animals – thanks for helping spread the love!
