Perhaps it’s time you got to know each other?

After working on this mystery for the past six months, I’m getting a handle on Iris Drake’s character and how she thinks, feels, and acts in various situations.

There is a lovely point in writing a book when the characters cease to be rigid like cardboard and feel more like real people, with preferences and mannerisms and quirks. As we reach that point, I felt an introduction to Iris was due.

In the coming posts, I’ll be introducing several characters and the basic framework of the mystery as I understand it at this point. In order for me to feel comfortable revealing details of the story, I am keeping all of this to paid subscribers only.

However, I have reverted all monthly reading roundups to free from now on and for those already released. Enjoy those if you haven’t yet read them.
