When I started writing, I didn’t give
any consideration to writing a series or a standalone. As I got into writing my
first published novel,
Retirement Homes
Are Murder, I started thinking beyond the first book. Eventually, this
ended up being a six book series. Once I made the decision to view this as a
series, I sketched out additional locations and plots for the protagonist, Paul
Jacobson.
Since then I have also written and had
published a number of standalone books. I also gave thought to what I might do
if I decided to continue with the same protagonist. At this point in my writing
journey I have sixteen published books with another due out in November, 2019.
Of these two, are sequels. My most
recently published mystery novel, Paradise
Court, is a sequel to Court Trouble. These
are both sports mysteries featuring the sports of platform tennis and
pickleball, sports I have played. Coming out next month is The Front Wing, a sequel to The
Back Wing, a paranormal geezer-lit mystery taking place in a retirement
community with very unusual residents.
