Great news! My cozy mystery series has been picked up by Sibylline Publishing. This innovative small press focuses on the writing of brilliant women over 50. Met the publisher Vicki DeArmon and Sibylline author Claudia H. Long at Bouchercon mystery writers conference New Orleans this last September. Gave Vicki my elevator pitch and she was intrigued by the idea of a quirky actress turned magazine writer solving murders in the Houston theater community. She asked me to submit the entire manuscript for Cue the Murder.

When I got home to the farm, I did my due diligence on Sibylline and its authors, including reading several of the books I picked up at the conference. Claudia is their only other cozy mystery writer, and I found her Murder without a Duck delightful. So, I submitted. In October Vicki contacted me to offer to publish the book and/or series. I met with her and Julia Park Tracey, who is not only head of submissions but an author in her own right.

Long story short, we came to terms and I signed a three-book deal on November 1. The book will come out with their Fall releases. A more specific release date will be forthcoming.
