What I’ve been loving lately

Hey Everyone! 

It’s been a little while since I last emailed, I know. Long enough for the weather to go from early autumn to something decidedly wintry. We even had a time change! 

I’ve been really busy with teaching the past few weeks, so I haven’t had much time to devote to Dr. Rowena & Co. But don’t worry! I’m busily thinking about the next book in the series, tentatively titled Under Review. As soon as I have any concrete news about it (which may be a while), you will be the first to know! 

Meanwhile, I have managed to fit in a little bit of reading for fun, although not as much as I’d like, of course. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of the Skip Langdon and Rebecca Schwartz mystery series, both by Julie Smith. The Skip Langdon series leans more towards gritty noir (and is set in New Orleans–always a good choice!), while the Rebecca Schwartz series is a bit more cozy, but they’re both engaging reads featuring smart female misfits as their main characters. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new heroine to check out. 

What about you? What have you been reading lately? Any great recommendations? 

Oh, and I’m also participating in a the Mystery Giveaway on Bookfunnel this month. Check it out here if you’d like to pick up a few more free mysteries!

Send me those book recommendations, and happy reading! Sid Stark
