In August, I started reading PD James’s novels. I’ve read Cover Her Face, A Mind to Murder, and Unnatural Causes thus far. Don’t know how I missed them earlier. They are very different than my books—they’re in the Agatha Christie tradition, but they are beautifully written and the plots are hard to figure out before you get to the end. Lots of fun.

Thanks so much with your help on my Travelers series promotions last month. You got to buy the earlier Travelers books you hadn’t read yet at a discount, which helped to raise their visibility on Amazon, which in turn leads to new readers finding the series. As you well know, these books are not for readers who prefer Good Guy vs. Bad Guy plots, so it makes it a little harder to find readers who will enjoy them.

As part of that promotion, I had a featured deal for The Traveling Man on BookBub. If you’re interested in free or discounted eBooks, BookBub is by far the largest eBook site and the most careful about the books they will promote. So if you’re looking for something to read until the next Travelers book comes out, here’s the link:

The new Travelers book—The Murder Run: The Travelers Book Six—is now off with the copyeditor. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it. I’m still hoping to release it before the end of the year. As soon as there’s more news, you’ll be the first to know.

One last thing. Here lately, I’ve been sharing links to free eBook promos. I think of these promos the same way I think of the discount book table at the front of the book store, as a place to take a look and maybe find a book you will enjoy. If you’re like me, you buy books, you borrow books from the library, and you read free books. So I hope these promo sites are just one more opportunity for you to find a fun read. There will be another free promo later this month. I’ll let you know when it starts.
