I hope everyone is out on a deck or a boat or a beach with their beverage of choice in hand by now. I’m headed for at least two of those destinations myself. Before I melt into Memorial Day, though, I’ll share some much-appreciated mentions of So Cold the River. A few of the pieces also break some news that I am VERY excited to report: Michael Pietsch and Little, Brown have signed up three more novels, which means that I’m locked in with that incredible publisher for at least six books. I am beyond delighted with that, extremely grateful to the good folks at LB for their faith, and looking forward to those future projects.
