Writing Update!

 What on earth is happening with my pseudonym Edie Roones? I hope to finish the Seasons in Sansward  quarternary this year. I'll start with updating the first books ~  Summer Sieges  in August Autumn Spells in November Winter Sorcery  in February of 2022. By then, Spring Magicks  should be finished. Look for this novel in early Spring of 2022 ... ... followed very closely by the bundled set, cover image here! (It helps to have the cover. That inspires me and prods me to write the novel.) Ever Thinking Then I'm heading off in a new direction, a contemporary mystery series of which I have the scantiest idea. Mysteries have been kept tied to my M.A. Lee pen name, but those are historical mysteries ~ and I want to keep that focus. Edie Roones doesn't have a lot of titles. Since I want a different feel for the contemporary mysteries, I'll use ERoones for publishing. I know this: since I can't sustain humor without feeling like a rollicking wheel barrow (I topple...
