NEWSLETTER Ann’s May 2018 Inklings–Holy cow! A new Deadwood book!
SURPRISE!!!
Grab your purple cigars because we have a brand spanking new Deadwood Mystery Series novel to read this month:
GONE HAUNTING IN DEADWOOD (Deadwood Mystery #9)
Trespassers will be gutted and hung!—Slagton’s Town Motto
Normally, not even drunk on a bet would Violet Parker go to Slagton, a creepy ghost town inhabited by those too stubborn—or deranged—to leave.
But a certain bullheaded Deadwood detective has a problem—his informant from Slagton has gone missing. When Violet is shanghaied into taking a hunting trip to the ghost town to search for the missing snitch, she stumbles into trouble that will take more than a double-barreled shotgun to escape.
Will Violet survive this new Hell that haunts her, or will she end up on Slagton’s growing list of those gutted and hung?
“A mystery romp that deserves its own theme park!” —Patricia McLinn, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of the Caught Dead in Wyoming Mystery Series
IN PRINT:
It will be available in the Black Hills area in early June, as well.
I will also have copies at my book signings in Edgerton/Fayette, OH; Sioux Falls, SD; and Deadwood/Lead, SD this June.
I will not have this book available via my Ann Charles’ Store UNTIL early July, because I will be traveling through much of June and unable to ship it out.
Ann’s 2018 Summer Travels
NW Ohio in Early June
I will be heading back to Ohio for another visit and would love to meet you at one or both of these NW Ohio libraries.
Rochester, Minnesota on June 19, 2018
I will be at Ground Round Grill on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 from 6 pm to 9 pm to enjoy some food and laughs with whoever can show up that evening for a visit. Please comment below if you can make it so the wonderfully helpful Jude Anway Crandall and I can get a headcount and make sure we have plenty of room for you.
Unfortunately, I will not have books to SELL. However, if you purchase your book ahead of time, I will be happy to autograph the book(s). Since we are traveling, I just won’t have the room to carry books in our vehicle without kicking out one of my kids, and those two are very good clingers. 
😉 LOL
If you’re in the area and can spare a couple of hours on a Tuesday evening, stop by for some good food and say, “Hello!”

Deadwood, South Dakota in Late June
Man, oh man, are we going to have fun in Deadwood again this year! Join me in Deadwood in late June for a fun-filled weekend that ends with the 2018 Fan Party.
This year, the fan party will be held at a BIGGER venue than last year (we packed in to the max of 90 folks last year and it got a little too warm). I’ve booked the double meeting/conference space under the Deadwood Holiday Inn Express & Suites right on Main Street in Deadwood for SATURDAY, JUNE 30th. This will give us much more room. Like last year, there will be a bar available to purchase drinks. I’ll also provide some snacks and small sandwiches.
SPECIAL GUEST! SPECIAL GUEST!
Great news! My special guest at the fan party this year with be the awesomely talented story teller, Sandra Brannan!

Wrap Up
I’ll be working on several projects at the same time through this summer that will make for a fun fall and winter 2018-19 for my characters and you readers. I appreciate you joining me as I dabble in the series I’ve created and torture my characters (in a good but entertaining way, ha ha ha).
Stay tuned for more laughs and wild rides from my Ann Charles’ Universe!
Thank you for your support!

In May I was in Deadwood with a friend took me to Chubby Chipmonk where I found your Deadwood books Vol. 1 – 6. Purchased Vol. 1. I could not put this book down, I laughed, cried, was scared, mad, etc., loved this one. Now I’ll have family living there send the remainder, a few at a time or I’ll just order some. I’m 81 1/2, I love these kind of books. So happy I found you and you wonderful Deadwood book series.
Comment is stated above.
Thank you so much, I now have a new author to follow.

PS… I’ve been coming to Deadwood for many many years, I enjoy everything about Deadwood.
Wow!! We went to Deadwood two years ago in June, & I totally missed you. I was so upset I’ve being there a week before you were!!! I couldn’t even talk my hubby into staying longer, what a heartbreak it was. Except we had three grand girls with us, and well they had other ideas, but mostly we just couldn’t afford another week there. But sides all that I was in tremendous pain. I’ve had multiple surgeries on my spine, the last was Aug 10, 2016. Then in late Aug something messed up, & I couldn’t walk very good. Now I’m not after sympathy here, just explanations. Well fast forward to multiple injections of steroids, & water therapy, here I am having another surgery. Except its a minor one. I’m getting a stimulator put onto my spine. I’m so excited I almost wet my pants!! I have a temporary one in place now, & boy does it work great. So now I’ll be able to walk down the street of Deadwood without stopping every 10 ft! Woo Hoo!! I made my hubby promise me that when I got better he’d take me back to Deadwood!!! Can’t do that this summer but hoping to next summer! We split up our grand kiddos & take two or three on vacation since my hippy retired almost 4 yes ago. This year is an exception though. Surgery plus other stuff has blown that for this year. Although our son & his wife & two girls are going to Deadwood after softball is over. Softball is a big, big part of our kid’s lives. Well at least three out of the four we have. Also our oldest grand girl graduated highschool this year & we gave her a nice financial reward!
Gosh, I’ve been so excited to read the last book with Violet. I was saving it till I finished a series I’d started, & here’s another book out that I totally missed. How on earth did I do that I’ve no clue. I usually am on your book site every week, somehow with all my problems physically I missed keeping track of your new books. Which I’m catching up on now! Also I don’t believe I’ve been receiving my emails from you either, whether its for notification or the up to date news you share. I’ll have to start checking my spam better just in case! Gosh I’m really sad to miss you fans party! I’ve never been to one before for any author. My last absolute favorite author before I found you was Charlene Harris, & Skokie Stack house. Except when HBO came out with a True Blood the series was ruined, sorry to say. That’s not important tho, you are! I absolutely love all your books! Every single one of them! I also love how you have brought in the whole family with other series f them! Looking forward to more Jackrabbit Junction, & Violets brother! And what a brother he is!!!
I’m just so excited for the next book of yours to come out! Your the most fun, & entertaining author around! Oh, I also love your hair! Keep up the fantastic job your doing now, & hope your still loving Arizona! I’m pestering my sister to get your autograph for me sometime since she lives I. Phoenix!! I’m going to keep my eye peeled for your next fan party also!! I’ll be able to go to it since I’ll be walking without any pain again!!! Yes Haw! Exciting things in the future for both of us Ann!! Stay as great as you are, & don’t stop testing the tequila!! Yours truly, Gail
