O'Neil, right now we're looking at mid-January for the release. I'll try to remember to mention it in my post mid-month. <br /><br />Janice, you may be on to something. Blurb buddies, even more valuable than beta readers.<br /><br />Steve Liskowhttp://www.steveliskow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-72914543179775502122017-12-18T09:59:41.817-05:002017-12-18T09:59:41.817-05:00I hate synopses - or even cover letters!

Maybe writers need blurb buddies more than writing groups!<br /><br />Belated congratulations on your Black Orchid victory!

One of my ex-agents wanted me to kill off LaStanza wife Lizette in the fourth book in the series, said having a cop (now private eye) who is happily married wouldn't work. Wrong. Love being an indie. It's my art. I write what I want to write, when I want to write, the way I want to write it. Cover control. Price control. Larger royalties and the books STAY IN PRINT. Good luck with the new book and let us know when it's available. Cool.O'Neil De Nouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142721824657611738noreply@blogger.com
