I found out just Thursday that the next Booktown mystery, BOOKPLATE SPECIAL, has been "bumped forward" a month. That means instead of December 1, 2009, it'll be released November 3, 2009. This is terrific news, as it gives the book plenty of time to make its way into Christmas stockings!
And just as happily, Amazon is now listing the book as available for pre-order. As soon as I'm verified as the book's author, I'll be posting a blurb on Amazon. But why should I wait here, right? Here's what the back cover will say:
The kinder folks of Stoneham might call Pammy Fredericks a free spirit. The less kind, a freeloading thief. Tricia has put up—and put up with—her uninvited college roommate for weeks. In return, Pammy, has stolen $100, among other things. But the day she’s kicked out, Pammy’s found dead in a dumpster, leaving loads of questions unanswered. Like what was she foraging for? Did her killer want it too? To piece the case together, Tricia will have to dive in head-first....
Of course you know, this means that the cover can't be too long in coming. I'm eager to see if they go with a take-off on an old bookplate. That would be soooooo cool. As soon as I'm allowed to share it, you know I will.
