CURRENT WRITING PROJECT

“MURDER IN THE KITCHEN” is my current writing project.

 WHAT SPECIFIC GENRE IS THIS BOOK?

That’s a good question. I’m writing the book and find it fun and tricky to respond to, in truth.

But, to make it simple, it’s a futuristic cozy mystery with a little romance in it.

 WHAT’S MY PLANNED WORD COUNT?

FYI: The average full-length novel is 80,000 words, by the way.

Now, I’ll give you my answer. I’m aiming for somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 words. 

CONFESSION

I’m about halfway through writing “MURDER IN THE KITCHEN: BOOK 1 OF THE COLMICIDE MYSTERY SERIES” and I have a confession…

I LOVE this new book. It’s a little dark in some places in the book, since it is a murder mystery, but the rest of the book is lighter. Now, keep in mind—I’m Christian. So, I refuse to go into great detail about the crime scene and don’t have sex in it either. But, it’s not needed. It won’t be missed. There’s too much going on to miss those things.

The characters seem to have great depth and there’s lots of conflict where there are several roadblocks the characters of the book keep running into—and about the time they think they’re through them, more appear.

While I don’t think anything can come close to the joy it was to write “Cammi’s Story: The 1^st Quest for the Lost Volumes” of the Lethana Series, this one is pretty darn close. It’s very different since it’s a mystery and isn’t a fantasy, like “Cammi’s Story.”

I can see this series taking off in the long-run. I also can see several books coming out in this series. 

The Colmicide Mystery Series is Based On…

By the way, there are the authors that the Colmicide Mystery Series is based on and I thought you might like to see if you could get an idea what they will look like once written:

~ J.D. Robb

~ Joanne Fluke

~ Kate Collins

~ Cleo Coyle

~ Janet Evanovich

 “Murder in the Kitchen:

Book 1 of the Colmicide Mystery Series” 

Genre: Cozy Mystery with a little romance 

Short Book Summary: Amanda Holden lives in Oakhaven, Nebraska and works for Colmicide, a division of law enforcement dedicated to solving cold cases in the year 2176. She is in the middle of a case that looks like Jack the Ripper has returned and it all starts when there was a body found in her kitchen. Now, if only she can stay alive and keep a partner—never mind keep her family from driving her too crazy.

 Total Word Count So Far:

53,777 words

 HELLO

Greetings. I hope all is well with you. What’s new with you? How’s your journaling? Life? Writing? Family? Etc.

 PRAYER REQUEST UPDATE

My friend, ‘S’ and his brain surgery was postponed until now… As I type this at 10:33 a.m. Central Time, he is having the operation.

Prayer: Lord, be with the doctor. Help the doctor to get all of the tumor, without fail, this time. Abba, be with S and his family—along with the doc, the nurses, and the staff at the hospital. Heal S. Comfort him and his family. To You be the glory, Lord. Amen.

 TIME

Forgive me and my crazy week this week. My time has been managed for me this week, rather than me being able to manage my time. Hopefully next week will be different. 

WRITING, BLOGGING, AND JOURNALING GOALS

Every week, I want to write at least 2 devotionals.

Every week, I want to write a post (or more) on writing.

Every week, I want to write two posts or more on journaling.

Every day (5 days a week), I want to tell you about my writing.

Every day, I will do journal entries at: http://RememberPresent.livejournal.com

 More to follow…

HELLO

Well, I am finally back after my hiatus of moving and vacation—and lots of home improvement projects! What a blessing the time has been. It was BUSY as could be, but a very nice time.

SCHEDULE

Every Tuesday morning, as I mentioned earlier, I will be at a Women’s Bible Study, so I will not be available until the afternoons on Tuesdays… FYI…

EMAILS AND COMMENTS

Bear with me over the next couple of days, if you send me an email or add a comment to the end of each blog post or journal post, because it will take me a while to reply to emails as I play catch-up.
