In this blog post, I’m going to answer a few questions about The Candidate and the Rookie Reporter series.

In this blog post, I share the title and cover for James Lalonde Book 2, as well as an exclusive preview of two scenes from chapter six of the story. For the sake of clarity, the events of this novel occur a few months after the first book, Suspicion. However, you don’t need to read Suspicion to enjoy this new story.

So, here is an earlier revised draft of the fourth chapter of my mystery short story, The Lawn. The short story has a special tie-in to my mystery novella, Missing. Eventually, I want to arrange for a professional line-edit and proofread then format the short story for ebook, so that you can read it on your favourite device.
