Book 5 of the Marnie Baranuik Files is Wrapping Up

Happy October, my fiends and freakazoids. Wrapping up this book, finally, and am plotting the sixth book in the series, which I will begin writing in January after a small, goofy break for a heavy-on-the-comedy short story in the “Between The Files” set, tentatively entitled Stiff Competition.

I’m not going to lie to you. This fifth book was one of the more difficult things I’ve ever tackled, for more reasons than the, erm, *ahem* <spoilers redacted> stuff. Those who have read Wrath & Bones might know to what I am referring. My characters had trouble keeping their feet this time around. It took them, and me, a while to recover their senses. Once they found their stride, though, they have been a blast. I’m eager for others to enjoy this ride with me, and expect it to be ready for publication in December (pending approval from my editor, Bossyboots McMeaniepants, and having the all-clear from the big wigs at Pixiegrind Ink Publishing. Ho wait, I’m the big wig. Handy, that. *wink*). A publication date will be posted as soon as it is known, and pre-orders will be available.

I suppose I can now reveal the title and cover for the fifth book. Folks, I give you Blightmare, Marnie’s fifth paranormal adventure. I am hoping you will enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

And a reminder, to those who have not kept up with the series but who may want to catch up before the fifth book drops, you can find all my work here on Amazon. For those interested in beginning the series, the first book is Touched. Voila! Stay tuned, my lovelies.
