UK Big Day

Murder on the Flying Scotsman, Damsel in Distress & Dead in the Water all came out today from Constable & Robinson.

As a bonus, I received the contracts for UK large print editions of 2 Regencies, Lord Roworth's Reward and Captain Ingram's Inheritance (sequels to Miss Jacobson's Journey--the Rothschild Trilogy) :-)

The second Cornish mystery will be out June 10th 2010. Already available for pre-order on Amazon. The first review is just in:

Once again murder disrupts the quiet life of widowed charity shop owner Eleanor Trewynn, who's settled in the village of Port Mabyn with her Westie, Teazle, in British author Dunn's delightful second cozy set in 1960s Cornwall (after 2009's "Manna from Hades"). On returning from a train trip to London, Eleanor's artist friend and neighbor, Nick Gresham, discovers that someone has slashed several of his paintings in his Port Mabyn shop. Rather than go to the police, a furious Nick sets out to confront rival artist Geoffrey Monmouth, who Nick is sure is the culprit. Accompanied by an anxious Eleanor, Nick finds Geoff stabbed to death in his Padstow bungalow. When the authorities detain Nick, Eleanor determines to track down the real killer, who just might be one of the young artists living communally on a local farm. Bolstered by strong characters, the fast-moving plot builds to a satisfying conclusion.

Great News

I had a wonderful time at Left Coast Crime in Los Angeles. All kudos to the dedicated volunteers who put it on. Among other high spots, such as riding on Angel's Flight, the longest short railway in the world--or so it claims--I had lunch with my editor, He told me there's a new contract for two more Daisy mysteries on the way.

I've also heard from my UK editor that they are interested in adapting Daisy for radio dramatization. Keep your fingers crossed!
 

An eventful day

I just emailed the ms of Anthem for Doomed Youth to my editor. Fingers and toes crossed that he'll like it--it's a bit different in that Daisy and Alec are involved in different crimes that don't appear to have any connection... Oh well, too late to start over!

The other major event of the day involves decisions, decisions! The two bookcases I have for my own books-one copy of each book and each edition-are now FULL, with the arrival of the UK editions of the 4-6th Daisy mysteries. I already bought a new bookcase for the Cornish mysteries (well, you never know), but with more Daisy to come and at least 2 Regency large prints on the way... Invade Cornwall?
