It has been a very busy summer.  One of my sons participated in several baseball tournaments which, I’m sure any parent with children in sports can attest, takes up quite a bit of time.  My day job has been a tad more demanding of late as well and I’ve spent many hours writing computer code instead of writing my next novel.  With that, I want to update everyone on a few things going on in the Mistletoe Mysteries world.

First things first, I’m excited to formally announce the second title in the Mistletoe Mysteries is titled “Betrayal At The North Pole.”  Once again we visit Steingrim Og, the Christmas Special Investigator, as he works to uncover who is at the heart of a massive betrayal of the Christmas Village.  Stay tuned in the next few months for a cover reveal and more updates as the book progresses.

Secondly, I’m hard at work on getting “Murder At The North Pole” turned into an audio book.  My initial plans for this fell through and now I’m having to learn so much more about how to go about choosing a narrator through Audible.com.  I’m excited about soon being able to hear Steingrim’s voice somewhere other than my own head!

Lastly, as a side project when I’m not working on “Betrayal…” I have begun plotting out a series of short stories which is tentatively called “Santa Claus and the Yeti Wars.”  I have J.P. Sloan to thank for this.  If you have read “Murder At The North Pole” the Yeti Wars are mentioned in passing.  J.P. said to me after a beta read of that chapter, “Now I want to know more about the Yeti Wars!” And that has stuck in my head since then.  More to come on this in the next few weeks.
