Update on the new James Maguire novel: Bishop's Gate

First, I would like to say that this evening I will be doing the cover reveal for the new book, Bishop’s Gate, which is scheduled for release next week. I hope that you will check back and let me know what you think.

If you are a first time visitor here, you can stay connected through this website, or via Facebook and Twitter.  

As I close the book, literally, on the new James Maguire novel, I am left with a feeling of sadness. It is hard to explain, but it’s like being on a wonderful vacation with friends and then having to say good-bye. I know that I will see them again, but that doesn’t do much for the moment.

However, as I did my proof read, I was struck by something that was kind of shocking to me and I wanted to share that with you. As you read this book, I want you to understand that the premise behind the story was drafted last February. That is going to be significant as you read the story. It hit me that I am either extremely prescient or we live in a world that is stuck on stupid, inclined to keep repeating mistakes. Whether it is the threat of global terrorism, political scandal, or race / class warfare, we never seem learn.

It is amazing to me how a story, which I dreamt up in my mind over a year ago, would be so timely. Hopefully, when I sit down to do the draft for the next one, I can again channel that insight.

For now, it is time for me to move on to the next story, which will be a sequel to the Alex Taylor novel, Small Town Secrets. I have the luxury of having most of that one done, and I am hoping for a shorter release time, toward the end of Spring.


Till then, I hope that you continue to enjoy my stories, and I welcome your feedback.
