Thaddeus Murfee Book 9 is Underway!

Thaddeus Murfee update: The new Thaddeus Murfee thriller us being plotted and character development begun. Working title is "A Small Death in Orbit" and takes Thaddeus back to Orbit, where it all began five years ago. He is called upon to defend an old friend and much more, including his agreement to run for public office. Will he actually run? Get elected? We'll find out in the next couple of months.

This Thaddeus Murfee book will get back to basics: crime > court > outcome. Thaddeus has personally asked me for that kind of approach and I have wholeheartedly agreed.

Welcome back, Thaddeus.

Now to watch.

New Path Maybe Taken

I have written nine novels in 14 or 15 months that now keep the bills paid. So far, so good. But for many years I have wanted to write a series of about four novels, financial/family in nature, that each would take about two years to research and write. At the end of that time I would probably give up writing and take up kite surfing (I would be 81). I would be very proud of these four novels, much prouder than I am of the ones written so far. Maybe "pleased with" is a better way of putting it. They would please me more than the ones to date have pleased me. I love my novels written thus far, but I know I can do much better, tell much wider stories with more power than what I've done. Now if I can just figure out how to stop publishing for two years while I write the first one. Will my little publishing shop go under while I don't feed the Amazon algos for two years? Or is there enough to keep things going? I really don't know. But I'm leaning toward trying.
