A New Beginning

     The 53rd story in The Falls small town mystery series will be the last (? Never say never!) of the series. It will come out in digital form soon. It will end with the marriage of Cash Green and Ericka Yamato, which has building for years. There will also be some harrying moments the day before the wedding. The folks in The Falls and I hope you enjoy it.

     There will be a new series coming in early to late summer. It will be a cozy mystery set in a small town in Vermont with two Scottish sisters who run a rambling, Victorian B&B. The first story will set the scene for, hopefully, many more to come. I am at the moment fleshing out the characters and landscape. I hope you all will give the new series a try. More about that later. No title yet...but I'm thinking about it.

     Here's hoping you are all safe a sound. With all the natural disasters and terrible weather going around, it's hard to know anymore. The politics are heating up again and I hate the way we treat each other. Disrespect and nastiness should never be a part of politics. We should be able to disagree with respect and politeness. The intrusion of nastiness comes from a few thoughtless and uncaring idiots who should crawl back under the rock they came from.

     Enjoy the spring and watch for news of the new series! Lots of love from the folks in The Falls and me.

     Thursday, January 11th...hope this day finds you well. I have a doctor's video appointment today...and my wife, Carolyn, has a knee replacement tomorrow. I had a breathing test on Monday and she had a pre-procedure meeting with her doctor earlier in the week. Guess this is Doctor's week at our house.

     Finished the writing of Book 52, The Falls: Powder. That should give you a clue as to what it's about. Now comes the editing and then publishing as a digital book. Then I'll start the next Falls book and within a short time start editing The Falls: Powder as a paperback. I wish there were two of me. One to edit, one to write. But then, the editor would probably be disgruntled because he wanted to write and the writer would feel a bit superior to the editor because they were the 'creative' one. Probably better there's just one of me.

     The holidays are over and several new tiny houses have been added to the village on the landing. We made a journey back to the NE to spends Christmas season with two of our kids, several grandkids and even a great grandchild. Also had a grandchild over to the house to celebrate her birthday along with our daughter and son-in-law. Family is the real center of life... friends too.

     Enjoy the after holiday quiet. (Along with the bills that need paying)

     Thanks for kind and loyal readers. You are what makes my little stories worthwhile.

     Always, George
