I'm still having fun at this --

I wasn't sure if I would or not, but I have a new book out and it feels as much fun as it did 10 years ago when I started on this crazy journey.

This is one of my Remembered Classics books, where I take a story we all know (in this case, The Hound of the Baskervilles) and I tweak it a bit to fit my plot.

A bit? How about a lot? I have A.C. Doyle, a female college professor and Ike Adler, her fellow professor (and romantic interest). I have Jay Watson, Acie's mother, I have a dog named Conan, a hound named Moriarty and a murder -- or two.

Anyway, it's all good fun and I forgot how much I enjoyed talking about writing and the writing process. It's good to have these releases now and then to remind me, I guess.

So here's Dogged, which combines academe, fashion models, and murder .... all in good fun.

Good for you, JL. If the spark is still there after all the books you've written, I'm heartened! Your titles are always such fun and mysteries always benefit from a dog nosing around. Good luck with sales!

Fun, or at the very least enjoyment is what it's all about. Right? Best of luck this time around.

What a great cover and concept. Love the characters' names. So glad you're still enjoying your story. Usually by the time the book is published, I'm so tired of reading it. Much later, I'll enjoy it. Best wishes, J.L.

Yes! I'm thrilled you're writing this series too, especially since I have the honor of being your edits. Very creative concept, and the novels are fabulous. LOVE that cover!
