Thanks, Mollie. The book was fun to write. I'm going to start the second book in this series right after Thanksgiving. --DQ

Thanks for checking. If you were in Portland, I know Powell's Books careies my books. Thanks for the inquiry. Speaking of Powell's, someone just posted a 5-Star review of Pelican Point there. When you read it, let me know what you think. I always like hearing from my readers. Hope you will try my first children's chapter book, too. --DQ

Actually, no, not a graphic novel. A standard detective/mystery novel but published in magazine format (8 1/2" x 11") with double columns. Both visually and from a marketing standpoint, I hate the format. That said, the writing, characters, setting and story line overcome that personal annoyance.

Hi Pam. I hope you will read Pelican Point and let me know what you think. At the back of the book is the prologue for the next Webb Sawyer Mystery novel Swan's Landing. --DQ

My fifth novel, Cornelius: The Orphan (historical fiction/adventure) is in the editing stage and due out in the summer of 2010. Now working on #6, the third and final Ellis thriller. Have the third Webb Sawyer Mystery novel outlined and ready to go. Also have a children's mystery book due out before Christmas this year. Keeping pretty busy. --DQ

My fifth novel is Corenlius: The Orphan, historical fiction/adventure set in the mid to late 1600s and takes the reader to New Amsterdam (NY), Amsterdam, Rotterdam. Boston and finally Dover, NH. Due out in Summer 2010. Worling on #6, the third and final Ellis book. Have outlined #7, the third Webb Sawyer mystery novel. Also have a children's mystery due out before Christmas. I tend to stay busy writing. An understatement, right? LoL --DQ
