Yes.yes, there will be another one coming out soon. It is called Being the Steel Drummer and I just finished the first draft of the the manuscript last week. It continues the hot romance of Maggie and Kathryn and it adds a new dimension to their relationship. It also features a complex mystery in the present and a historical mystery the involved two Lesbian artists who lived in Washington News 150 years before Maggie and Kathryn.
