I’m into the first draft of the second Nightingale novel. Believe it or not, everything is new to me. I don’t know if other writers feel the beginning of a new book as a crisp, exciting adventure, but I do. I must confess that I have other manuscripts hidden in various nooks and crannies. They will never see the light of day, so they don’t count.
I’m talking about a fresh manuscript that will be the best quality I can produce at the time. This will take time. A few months (I dare not guess how many), but I am excited and determined to make this a really good read. Keep fingers crossed for me.
Logline for new Nightingale:
“For years Imogene and Portia have tried to be a family to Nightingale but he has worked and resisted their attempts at family ties. After a young man is murdered at their new house, Nightingale must investigate the death and realizes that he needs family more than he ever knew.”
