\"\"Fans will be happy to know that I\u2019m halfway through the writing of Book 42. This is not to say it is half finished\u2014far from it. I\u2019m just now creating a storyline. Next I have to make it work\u2014work out the details and wrinkles, edit, edit, then edit some more. Then I\u2019ll turn it over to my beta reader and proofreader\/editor. Then it still isn\u2019t ready for you. I\u2019ll edit another time or two or six. When I\u2019m satisfied, I\u2019ll turn the book over to my formatter and read it through another time or two on paper. You can\u2019t imagine how much you see when you shift from manuscript form to the printed page\u2014from the computer screen to paper. Things pop out that you didn\u2019t even notice before.<\/p>\n

Amidst all of this back and forth and re-reading, I\u2019ll be working with the cover designer. \"\"We\u2019ve already been talking and I\u2019m excited about the premise of combining cats with antiques on this cover. Sound intriguing?<\/p>\n

In 2019 I produced eight new Klepto Cat Mysteries. That\u2019s my unintentional record. But still I\u2019m not producing fast enough for some fans. You folks read too fast!!!! This year I expect to publish something below that number as I\u2019m also working diligently to revise some of the earlier books. To date, I\u2019ve revised and republished Books 1 though 4. Now that\u2019s a process. I didn\u2019t expect it to be so time-consuming. But I feel it is necessary, and I\u2019m pleased with the results.<\/p>\n

\"\"As I said, I\u2019m taking time away from that project to work on a new book for you, but my hope is to revise all of the books through 28 as we changed the formatting for Book 29 (print) and I\u2019d like to rework all of the previous print books to conform to the more attractive and readable format. Along with the format improvement, I will do either a little or a lot of revising\u2014whatever each individual book needs. I envision that taking me a few years to complete because I want to continue bringing out new books for you as we go along.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s happening in the Klepto Cat Mystery factory? We\u2019re keeping busy. So keep reading. And consider purchasing the first four newly revised books and rereading them. I think you\u2019ll be pleased.<\/p>\n

What are the resident cats doing in the meantime? Just hanging out, as you can see.<\/p>\n
