Connery yodelHello, ReaderFolk!

Belle PAX chute This is an especially fun newsletter to write, because late summer has turned into fall, which means agility trials. This past month we went to our first fall trial in pursuit of Double Qs and speed points for Connery's MACH (the ultimate AKC agility title) and Belle's PAX (the equivalent title for short-legged, long-backed little dogs running appropriate heights). Very few dogs achieve the PAX, a relatively new title, and I'm burstingly proud to say that Belle is now one of them. This photo is from one of her final two title runs--it's a tunnel/chute combination, where the dogs run boldly through a long tube of material at full speed. Go, Belle!



And hey, it's release time for the first GHOST WHISPERER book! Here we have the usual linkage: the excerpt, a place to buy it...and a pretty cover on the side.

On a chilly spring night near Grandview, reformed tough guy Gordon Reese makes a final break with his old ways, bidding farewell to his roughneck buddies at The Whetstone Bar. But a vicious killer makes certain that Gordon's farewell will be final indeed. And now the haunting begins...

In the ultimate battle between good and evil, will Gordon Reese overcome his demons in time to save Melinda from his killer, or will Gordon's unquenchable thirst for revenge lead her to a horrific end?




Murder is Binding

Guest Writer!
For a change of pace--while I head back to the laptop to work on Reckoners--I'd like to spice things up with an introduction to an author friend of mine. Writing both as LL Bartlett and Lorna Barrett (we'll just call her Lorraine!), she has both a paranormal mystery and a debut cozy out there on the shelves this year, the latter of which is burning up the sales charts. You can learn more about Dead in Red (the paranormal Jeff Resnick mysteries) and Murder is Binding (the Bookseller Mysteries) by visiting llbartlett.com or lornabarrett.com. I hope you enjoy reading her work as much as I do!
