Chapters 5 and 6 - Writing the Mystery

Today, I worked on Chapters 5 and 6.  I thought I would be working on the next murder, but it looks like that won't happen until Chapter 8.  There is however, a funeral in Chapter 6 and that amused me.  The characters are breaking apart, suspecting each other. That interplay is difficult to keep even. I don't want to show who the murderer is this soon in the book. Motive is still a big question for my sleuths. In this book, almost everyone has a motive.

I am finding I can work four hours a day with no problem but today there were some distractions.

I received a letter from the publisher of the children's book I wrote back in 1991.  It seems there may be copies left.  If so, I would like to order extra copies. I only have one on my shelf. From time to time, I need a present for a child so I would like to have some on hand.

Wade and I Skyped today about our next short story collection. I received the proof today and am pretty happy with it.
It won't be available for a couple of weeks either as this paperback or as an e-book.  Right now it joins five other of my titles on the shelf. By the end of 2013 I want eight books there.
