Second B-Town Series Manuscript Progressing Nicely

B-Line Trail, Bloomington, Indiana

The sequel in my B-Town Series of novels (working title “Local Justice”) is progressing nicely.  I’ve written around 59,000 words and 254 pages. It’s roughly 85 percent complete.

No word as yet on acceptance for the first manuscript of the series, “Local Motive.” Both are police procedural detective stories that take place in my hometown of Bloomington, Indiana.

“Local Motive” Manuscript Complete!

The manuscript of my next novel “Local Motive” is now finished.  Thanks to the modern miracles of A.I., I have corrected hundreds of punctuation and spelling errors. The story is a police procedural mystery set in my hometown of Bloomington, Indiana, whose working title was previously “B-Line.” I’m now setting about the tedious steps of finding a publisher. 

“Local Motive” will be my seventh full-length novel.

“B-Line:” a Work in Progress

I’m one-third of the way through the first draft of my upcoming novel “B-Line.” It’s a murder-detective story that takes place in my hometown of Bloomington, Indiana. The plot follows two detective partners — a male senior detective who is close to retirement, and a 28-year-old female detective who has recently transferred to the force from another police department.

The longer project is a welcome change from all the recent micro-fiction collections I’ve produced.

[NOTE: The manuscript’s working title is now “Local Motive.”]
