What have you done for me lately? A series of six mini-anthologies have been published as ebooks. They cost $1.99 each and they each include four stories: a new short story and three stories that previously appeared in Eighteen. The six new short stories that appear in the series include two stories about Irene Kelly as a young journalism student, two about Frank Harriman as a rookie, a story about Tyler Hawthorne of The Messenger, and a story about Bunny Slye, introduced in A Study in Sherlock.
What's the most recent Irene Kelly book? The latest Irene Kelly book is Disturbance
Do you know about the random mention of Ian in that one? Yes. Blogged about that here.
Do you plan to write about Irene again? Yes. Doing that now. And there are short stories about her written since Disturbance

Thank you, Pauline! There are two things I love to hear from readers -- that they set aside housework or lost sleep reading. Mean of me in the latter case, but there you have it.
Thanks for the note, and here's hoping you'll enjoy the rest.
Jan, who would like to be in Ireland, too
I've been dragging my heels and putting off reading the last few of your books...because when I'm done, well, I don't want to be done! I love your books, Ms. Burke. Thanks for being such a grand storyteller.
"Bloodlines" was my first JB/IK experience...and it was the best book I could have picked up for my Maui vacation (a 50th birthday gift from my husband-yes, he's a keeper). I gave the book to my Mom when I was finished...and will leave you with this ....my Mom flies from Spokane, WA...to visit me in Ozark, AL. Together we drive to Pensacola, FL, to visit my son who is attending a navy school. Mom and I go to the beach. It is a gorgeous day...not too hot, not too cold...we set up our beach chairs and pull out our books. My Mom is reading "Bloodlines"...and I'm reading "Bones"...and it was the most perfect peaceful beach time a girl could ever ask for.
Thanks again...and sorry I didn't have time to write a shorter blog.
