Midlist Writer: What's Coming Up in the Rest of 2026?

What's Coming Up in the Rest of 2026?

We're three-quarters of the way through the year and the autumn is well and truly here. So what do I have planned for my writing before we crack open the champagne and cheer in 2027?

In late November, I plan to release The Case of the Terrible Tomb, book 9 in my Masked Man of Cairo historical mystery series. I left book 8 on a bit of a cliffhanger, and I've gotten a lot of emails asking when the followup will appear. You don't have much longer to wait and I promise book 9 isn't another cliffhanger!

In other news, I'm also working on a discounted boxed set of the first three books of the Cairo series that will contain a bonus short story. Binge readers like box sets, so that might bring some more people to my little world, plus the set will be in Kindle Unlimited, so KU readers can get the bonus short story for nothing! I'm hoping to have that out in November or December.

Sometime in December, Vinci Books will come out with audiobooks of my Toxic World and Moroccan Mystery series. More on that when I know myself!

That's all that will be published in 2026, but it isn't all that's in the works. For Vinci, I'm working on Book 3 of my Bunker series, due out in the spring of 2027. I'm also working on An Autumn Murder in Berlin, book 4 of my Berlin Murders series. Yes, that was supposed to come out this year, but other projects, and a move to Morocco, got in the way. Sorry, folks. I promise you'll have it by early 2027!

So what else is coming up in 2027? That will remain a mystery for now. . .

Trench Raiders

September 1914: The British Expeditionary Force has the Germans on the run, or so they think. After a month of bitter fighting, the British are battered, exhausted, and down to half their strength, yet they’ve helped save Paris and are pushing toward Berlin. Then the retreating Germans decide to make a stand. Holding a steep slope beside the River Aisne, the entrenched Germans mow down the advancing British with machine gun fire. Soon the British dig in too, and it looks like the war might grind down into deadly stalemate. Searching through No-Man’s Land in the darkness, Private Timothy Crawford of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry finds a chink in the German armor. But can this lowly private, who spends as much time in the battalion guardhouse as he does on the parade ground, convince his commanding officer to risk everything for a chance to break through?
