I hope to be better next year. At least I was better this year than the one before, I think. We improve by baby steps. 😉

The reason I have been so negligent is because I have been hard at work on The Incredibly Irritating Irishman, revising it from very rough first draft to something I can live with. I am not sure if I am quite through tweaking yet, but we are definitely on track to be out by ConDFW.

Of course, if you have been to the page you will have seen the gorgeous cover, but I am going to put it here too, because I just can’t stop looking at it.

I am so pleased to welcome Brad Fraunfelter back to the job of cover artist, because I didn’t do The Nearly Notorious Nun nearly as much justice as he would have.

I’ve also been toying with an idea for something new and exciting (to me at least) for younger readers. I will let you know what happens. For now, Happy Holidays from all of us at the Conn-Mann Chronicles!
