I Shall Not Want
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your interest and inquiries! No, I haven't finished the Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne series. The story continues with I Shall Not Want, Minotaur's lead title for June, 2008. Expect to see more of the Van Alstyne family, more of how joining the New York State National Guard affects Clare's life and ministry, a new officer joining the MKPD, and of course, lots and lots more Russ and Clare, as they struggle to come to grips with the events of All Mortal Flesh.
I Shall Not Want will be featured on the new St. Martin‘s Minotaur blog site, MomentsinCrime.com and in their new e-newsletter, The Labyrinth. If you aren’t already subscribed, visit Minotaurbooks.com and sign up.
Your summer reading list!
In addition to I Shall Not Want, St. Martin’s Minotaur is bringing out several other terrific new traditional mysteries this spring and summer. Six acclaimed writers have graciously sat down to chat about their books. I hope you’ll read the interviews... and visit their sites, and do let me know what you think!
