News from Dead Mule Swamp

photo label This is going to be sort of like double posting, if you also read my author blog Shark Bytes and Tales. But I'm just too hyped to keep the parts of my life separated into different blogs at the moment.

I finished my first-ever mystery novel. OK... it's really a novella, because the length came in shorter than a full novel. Whatever. But, this short length is really not the standard, these days.

It's with a couple of beta readers right now, and I expect there will be a bit of extra development of some scenes, but not enough to double its length.

I'm hoping to have it out as an ebook by the end of the month, and am looking into options for print copies.

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you'd pop over to Shark Bytes and Tales and answer the very short poll at the top.

It will help me make some choices about what I do next in terms of making it available for purchase.

Lead-gray water a reflection of the sky above. Rain again this morning, but bright red berries on the burning bush lends that a welcome dash of color to the scene out my window.
