Inky Stevens

INKY UPDATE: I haven't posted about Inky for quite some time as all three novels are being worked on by the publisher. As I've begun to learn, things move very slowly in publishing circles and Book 1's release has now been scheduled for late 2019. But things are still moving!! I'll be in touch with Inky's new look when things really start to gather pace next year. Thanks for your patience thus far. Watch this space....

HAVE AN INKY NEW YEAR: Just putting the final touches to Inky's third outing, provisionally named 'Inky Stevens and the Case of the Shifting Shadows', to be sent to the publisher tomorrow. Their work on Book 1 will begin in April and the 'Caretaker's Keys' officially released by the end of 2018. Thanks for your support. Watch this space!
