I had intended to publish book 3 in the series after Christmas but was advised by the distributors to wait until the market for new fiction books was more buoyant around mid-summer. Once we reach that time, and hopefully the dreaded virus has at least waned, then we hope to publish.
Meanwhile I began writing book 4; The Dirty Duck Inn, two months ago and it had been going well, but with the lock-down I and other author friends have found it difficult to knuckle down and lose ourselves in creativity. Authors are usually more then content to work alone and on the surface would find lock-down no problem, However, the opposite seems to be true as there are many more important things going on out there and inside our own homes to worry about.
Keep safe and plan that big celebration with your love ones once this is all over.

Introverted as a child I would lose myself in books while dreaming of becoming an author.
When asked what I wanted to be when I left school I'd inwardly scream 'An Author'
Only kids from my background weren't expected- or encouraged- to harbour unrealistic asperations. I became a carpenter apprentice on £2-10 shillings a week.
Later I worked in the meat industry despite trying to avoid it, but it was here that I grew up and nurtured my off the wall humour via some of the craziest characters I ever knew.
I spent the last ten years of my working life lecturing, training and assessing apprentices.
Many of us could be bitter that we never had the opportunities or the privilege's given to the more fortunate to touch the sky while we were still young. Personally; I prefer to ride the waves and look forwards rather than backwards and drown in regret.
