I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!
Captain's Log, Supplemental
Remember that romantic suspense proposal I blogged about earlier? Well, it just sold to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line!
I am so jazzed! I am beyond jazzed!
The story’s working title is Sinister Spa The story's title is Deadly Intent and here’s a blurb (but it’s probably not what will appear on the back of the book):
Massage therapist Naomi Grant could use a massage herself.
With her father at home recovering from a stroke, Naomi is put in charge of the family’s elite day spa in Sonoma county. The new responsibilities sit awkwardly on her shoulders, and things only get worse when handsome Dr. Devon Knightley breezes into the spa, demanding to see one of the female clients.
And the woman is found dead in Naomi’s massage room.
Suddenly, Naomi is a suspect and her family’s spa is shut down. How could God let this awful thing happen?
Devon only needed to see his ex-wife about a family necklace she still hadn’t returned, but when she dies and it’s discovered that her necklace—his family’s necklace—has been stolen, he’s the prime suspect.
Naomi and her family’s calm faith in this situation baffles him, but he’s more than willing to pair with the vivacious massage therapist to try to prove they’re both innocent.
However, the real murderer is still in Sonoma ... and their work isn’t done yet.
Note: The hero's name was changed from Ben to Devon, in case you were wondering.

Congratulations, Gentle Sensei. Just goes to show you can't hold a good writer down. You are the bomb!
Continued success to you, and may you sell millions of copies.
Also, can't wait to read your third book in the Sushi Series as well.
Blessings!
Chas.

You'll be able to get it on Amazon (you can preorder it too) and it should be in most Christian bookstores and Barnes and Noble and Borders. I'll also let people know on my newsletter when it's available.
