Gayle Wigglesworth’s newest Claire Gulliver Mystery is now available at Amazon, her publisher, and by request from your favorite bookstore.

Carnage Goes Coastal  is the sixth adventure in the Claire Gulliver Mystery Series. Claire is about to embark on the ‘happily ever after’ episode of her life with retired CIA agent, Jack Rallins. But, when you have children, ‘happily ever after’ seems only true in fairy tales. And whoever heard of a ‘retired’ spy?

Karen Rallins, Jack’s daughter, has been living in New York City since graduating from college and prides herself on her city smarts and landing a great job with a future, until she becomes pregnant. At first, she’s furious, at herself for her stupidity, and at her boyfriend for his duplicity. Now, she’s terrified. Someone is trying to murder her.

Desperate, Karen calls her father, but when was he, a CIA agent, ever around when she needed him? However, this time when she calls, instead of her father a woman answers, and she offers hope.

This book is the perfect gift for the person who loves mysteries. Or treat yourself this holiday season.

They are clean and fun and very useful to entertain you when you are trapped in a situation where you have to wait or when you need a smile. This book is available only as an eBook.

I finally wrote the final sentence of the first book in my new mystery series, Murder Most Mysterious, a Glenda at Large Mystery. I’ve been reluctant to end this book, as I am most books. The characters, plot and setting has been living in my head for months and it’s hard to let them go. Hence the diddling around I do to delay writing the end. I know I do this, but I just can’t seem to break myself of this delaying tactic.

What finally pushed me to finish it was lately my mind has been busy with two new projects. I’m anxious to get started on the next book in this series with the plot now forming in my mind, and I am thinking how to update STEEL VAULTS a book I wrote many years ago and despite my failure to find a publisher for it, I believe it is a great story. But like eating dessert before my dinner, my upbringing won’t allow me start on those two projects until I finished my current one.

Today I plan to print the draft, actually turn my thoughts into a tangible, physical book, and let my husband read it. He has been subjected to random discussions about plot, characters and problems for months now, yet has not seen any pages and so he doesn’t really have any concept of what I’ve written. Hopefully he will be pleasantly surprised. But no matter, after he’s read it, we’ll have a conversation, and if needed, I’ll do the first edit before giving it to my readers. Meanwhile, I can legitimately start the other projects knowing eventually this book will get a final edit and get published. I’ll let you know when that is coming.
