Happy September
It’s almost jungle time!
I shipped Dig Site Book 3, Chewed Up by the Jungle, to my wonderful Beta team today!
What does that mean in non-author speak?
It means this baby is almost ready to share with all of you readers. Yay!
I spent this month catching up on bookkeeping, (groan, curse, kick and scream), shipping out the Hip Deep in Bad Company audiobook to the Kickstarter supporters (with Sam’s help–woo hoo!), and reading through the first two books in the Dig Site series to make sure my final editing round on Book 3 would make the story sparkle like a disco ball (and keep you binge-readers happy-spappy).
Next month is going to be busy with awesome treats and no tricks!
I can’t wait to share Quint and Angelica’s latest adventures in the Mexican jungle with you all.
“Such an amazing story! I loved Chewed Up by the Jungle and I’m confident everyone else will too!” ~Vicki H., First Draft Crew
And wait until you hear Jason Culp’s narration of Hip Deep in Bad Company! He really knocked it out of the park for the Deadwood Undertaker crew’s last adventure!
I’ll have BUY and PRE-ORDER links soon!
On a home life note:
* Chicken Noodle took her first flying lesson and LOVED it. I’m not sure my heart can handle what comes next, but her future looks to involve flying high.
* Beaker is working, working, working, and saving his money to buy his first car.
* Sam just made a gorgeous flagstone path from our back door out to my office that makes me feel like playing hopscotch when I go back and forth between the house and “work.”
* I went clothes shopping for my next Deadwood-related event and am so glad that Macy’s has mirrors in the dressing rooms that make you look taller and thinner. Lordy, I loathe clothes shopping … unless it’s for more work clothes (aka pajamas).

Wrap Up …
The third book in the Dig Site Mystery Series, Chewed Up by the Jungle, is out with the beta team for the next week. Yay! That means we are getting very close to a new story being in your hands just in time for autumn. We will be releasing the ebook first through our online store at a discount for a week. Then we will upload it to the rest of the online retailers. I’ll be sending a newsletter with links when the ebook is available, so stay tuned!
Deadwood Undertaker #6, Blow Your Hat Off, is moving along on one chapter at a time. Go, Sam, go! More adventures with Boone, Rabbit, Clem, and Hank (and Uncle Mort) are coming your way!
I’m going to be reading back through the Jackrabbit Junction series in early October and getting started on the 7th book in that series. Natalie, Cooper, and Harvey will be heading back south to Arizona to hang out with the Jackrabbit crew for more fun on the pages. Get ready for lots of laughs and cringes.
