I had announced earlier that the murder mystery that I&#8217;m also writing would feature Constable Patrick Schenk, but it turns out, that character has changed quite a bit. He&#8217;ll reveal his name and true nature in his own sweet time. For now, I play with Marnie. Book 5 is nearly half finished, and I&#8217;m very happy with the direction its taking. I think readers will be rooting for more than just Marnie in this one. Can&#8217;t say more. No spoilers, here.<\/p>\n<p>I am also being called by a house in my mind, and a family conflict, and I think this story needs to stew a bit before it sorts itself out. I guess that&#8217;s vague. I&#8217;m so tired these days, but it&#8217;s a good tired. It&#8217;s an accomplished tired. I feel very confident about the steps I&#8217;m currently taking. Pixiegrind Ink will be delivering so much in the fall and winter of 2016\/2017. I feel honoured for the opportunity to be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3318\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"victorian-house-1397442_1280\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-768x511.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-190x126.jpg 190w, http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280-60x40.jpg 60w, http:\/\/www.ajaalto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/victorian-house-1397442_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that Pixiegrind Ink is up and ready to roll, I am excited about returning to my 4 A.M. playtime with Marnie Baranuik.
