Book 4 coming soon …

On By nanciqIn Crime, HistoricalLeave a comment

Looks like I may be on schedule to release book 4 in the Detective Hodgins series, Homicide on the Homestead, in time for Christmas. The cover is partially ready. Basic graphics have been picked, so it shouldn’t take long to get that finished. Final (hopefully) revisions are being done.

Sneak peek at the cover … it will require a bit of tweaking, but this is more or less what it will look like.

Book 5 has been started so with luck and commitment that will be available next year. Working title – United in Holy Deadlock. Might be able to get the graphics department working on that so it will be half-way ready when the manuscript is done.

2020 has arrived

Generation Witch is on hold until Book 4 in the Hodgins series is published.

What’s coming in 2019

Author Nanci M Pattenden will be launching a new series this fall.

She is currently awaiting feedback from her editor on Generation Witch: Rebirth. While this doesn’t exactly fit her normal genre of Victorian mysteries, it does have an element of mystery to it. Gen Witch is a contemporary Urban Fantasy Paranormal story. The main character, Marcy has abandoned her family heritage as practicing psychics to lead a so-called normal life. After inheriting from the last relative in her direct line, she begins to embrace her natural-born talent. After a quick trip to England to visit the only family she has left, Marcy soon realizes she is the target of psychic attack. She must enlist the aid of her family to win the battle. This is the first book in a short series.

In addition, Pattenden will be working with fellow author M.J. Moores in a novella series called D.E.M.ON. Tales. A tongue-in-cheek adventure with local agents hunting demons and mythical creatures. There will be 28 books in the series, with each author taking turns with the alphabet. The first will be done by Pattenden, and the expected release date is Hallowe’en. They will be put out in e-book, with a print version done every four books.

 

Detective Hodgins Victorian Mysteries book two

The major project for 2015 will be book two. It has been started and has been marinating for a few months. There are a few other things that have been partially written, but they will be put on the shelf until book two is done.  I guess the writers version of Elf on the Shelf is Manuscript on the Shelf. For most an e-shelf inside the computer.

Updates for the book will be on the author’s site at http://www.nancipattenden.com.
