Hello all! I’ve finished all my revisions for my new collection and will send it to my editor in May. I’ve learned a lot since my last critique, especially when it comes to police procedures vs. detective procedures. Law enforcement procedures are usually a part of my stories because a crime is committed. Luckily, I had the help of an extremely close friend who works in law enforcement and verified that my fictional procedures fall in line with actual police procedures. I also discovered is enhances my storytelling and allows me to add more realism.

Something new is my recently discovered setting for writing and editing my stories at home. In the image, you’ll see my laptop in the foreground. Playing in the background is classical music I found at yourclassical.org. I personally play the Focus stream in the background at a low setting while my television is tuned to Pluto TV’s SlowTV station.

If you’ve never heard of SlowTV, it’s a channel that broadcasts the travel of trains in Norway. They mounted a camera in the cab and displays the tracks and surrounding landscape as the train passes through the beautiful countryside. I mute the television and listen to classical music, and it’s amazing how well I can write in that environment. However, I have set alarms on my phone to tell me to walk for 5 minutes every hour, or I’ll sit there all day!

Currently, I’m working on the first draft of book 3 of my Unexpected Evil collection. Book 2 is already done, but not ready to send to my editor yet. I’ll keep you informed on my progress. See ya!
