Joanna Brady #17, September 6, 2016

The next Joanna book, Downfall, goes on sale September 6.  With joint books and novellas added into the mix, the numbering is a little hazy at this point, but by my count Downfall clocks in as Joanna # 17.  I knew when I started writing Desert Heat that this was going to be a new series, but I never thought about how many books that might be to say nothing of how many words!  So let’s say seventeen and counting.

This book marks a real turning point for Joanna.  It’s been interesting to watch her grow and change through the years.  I think my readers will like to see her coming into her own.

The book tour schedule is posted.  This is a big country, and there is only one of me.  If you look at the schedule, you’ll see that the places I AM going will use up a month of my life.  If you live elsewhere and want an autographed book, please consider contacting one of the stores listed on the tour.  They will be happy to have me personalize and sign a copy for you when I come through town and ship it to you later.

At this point I’ve handled most of the bookmark requests, but they are still dribbling in.  For those, please send a business-sized SASE to

Do not expect an instant reply.  I’ll be on the road.

Hope to see some of you along the way.
