Heralding Autumn

I adore September, when it rains then produces the most beautiful autumn foliage, however this year we started early, faltered and are now late.  I had hoped for one of Wisconsin's most brilliant autumn displays, but alas, not yet.

Our weather has been clear, sunny and very warm for the past ten days.  Now October, we will continue on this path for the next ten days and by the end of the next week, we should be in the 60's where we belong.  Still, I would love to see some dazzle.

You can see a bit of colour here.  This is the street up from us and it's always pretty.  People are house proud here and La Crosse is a lovely place to live, even if there are no decent jobs here.  Poor Mick has been out of work for eleven months now with nothing in sight.  And that's sad.

But looking ahead, I am in the middle of writing four new novels - all true crime.  No weddings, nothing terribly soppy, but I will be blowing things up, bumping people off, shooting weapons, etc. - the usual stuff.  One has a historical theme to it, another is contemporary with an historic twist and the other two, well, I won't give those away.  Suffice it to say, these are all under 25,000 words and will be on Smashwords.com for $2.99 each before the end of the year.  And as always, there will be a free 20% download of each new book and with Christmas coming up, Smashwords may do a special pricing, so I will opt for that as well.

And just so you don't forget, here are the books currently for sale at Smashwords.com.  You don't need an eReader to read them either.  Just select the HTML choice and you can read the books on your computer.  It's easy, fun and certainly cheaper than a movie and dinner!!


Always Have - Always Will (a Love story)
$2.99





Good Old Uncle Norman - A goofy Crime Drama, also $2.99



Seven Doors of Time
This book is a compilation of seven stories of various lengths, subjects and genre.  This book took several years to write and has over 158,000 pages in it.  Price is $4.99.

So there we are for October.  Another Blog will be coming later in the week on another topic.  My wish for you is fair weather and following seas...and beautiful Autumn colours!
