The New Mystery Novel Due In 2026

The new book, Pinot Mort will be released sometime the new year, according to the latest plans for 2026. I'm happy with the progress made by finishing a third draft of the novel and it's gratifying to see it improve with each iteration. To hear a sample chapter, join us at the Analog Book Store Writer's Group on Tuesday, Jan. 6th at 6:30 p.m.

This seems like a good time to post some excerpts from the book on my blog. I'm going to do some regular posts of wine facts from the book's Appendix, an glossary of wine terms that get mentioned in the book.
