Party Goers and What’s Up Next
The launch of Big Easy Escapade in New Orleans was a success! We had a lot of friends and family who made the trek there to support us, (it was an easy sell considering the weekend was full of gumbo, hurricanes and beignets!), and we met some new Fanz as well. We appreciate everyone’s support and hope you’ll help us spread the word on the Getaway Girlz series. We’d like to write full time, ya know.
We also had a successful launch of Big Easy Escapade in Fort Worth this past weekend. We started the weekend with a signing at Barnes and Noble, then had a party at Blue Mesa Grill. The queso was hot, the margaritas were blue and the cake was chocolate, which made pregnant me happy!
What’s next, you ask?
We’ve started working on book 4, Upstate Uproar, and while we’re not committing to the exact month it will be out, we’re looking at the second half of 2014. The Girlz visit the Adirondacks in upstate New York, put up with paranormal activity, befriend a rescue dog and make deadly discoveries. It’ll be up to them to set some old wrongs, right! Stay tuned…
If you’d like to receive our occasional emails, shoot us one at fanz@getawaygirlz.com. We’ll put you on the list, but won’t bombard you, promise. Plus, your info is safe with us, we’ll never ever share.
Until next time, happy reading!
We needed more murder!
Before Rocky Mountain Mayhem (book 2) was published, as Robbyn and I would be out and about at book signings, promotional parties, etc., when someone would ask us about the second book we’d always say something to the effect of, “Same four friends, different vacation, different mystery. No murder. We don’t want to kill off someone in every book. Our friends would never go on vacation with us!”
Unlike Getaway Girlz which took us a year and a half to write, we wrote book two in megasuperfast overdrive. We had a deadline, darn it, and we were not going to miss it! Two days before going to print I was feverishly rereading, re-editing, reformatting and suddenly I was re-ALIZING something horrible.
I closed my cherry red laptop and fumbled the phone as I called Robbyn.
“We’re missing something! The story’s not right!”
Robbyn remained calm on the other end of the line. “I know. I know. I’ve been thinking the same thing.”
We talked for a bit and it was settled. There wasn’t enough mystery in our mystery.
An emergency all-day happy hour was in order, which at times was less happy and more agony, but we figured it out. We worked through the rough spots and found just the right places to add more thrill and suspense.
It’s paid off. Now we’re hearing from our Fanz that the second book is even better than the first!
Of course it is…
We added MURDER!
