When will your next book be out? I'm working on a new Irene Kelly novel. Updates here and on my Facebook page.
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

Hi,I'm doing a school report on your book "kidnapped." I was wondering if I could by chance interview you by email or some other way.
Hi Adam,
I'm usually hesitant to do this, because e-mail interviews are so time consuming, and because while I am sure you have read the book, sometimes I get contacted by students who expect me to do their homework. So if I say yes to someone who is honest and hardworking like you, I then have a harder time saying no to the flakes.
Also, almost any information you could need about me or the book for a report is probably on my Web site or this blog. (The blog can be searched -- see the upper left corner.)
But I remember what it's like to be a student, and I do appreciate your reading my book, so send an e-mail to me at jan (at) the domain name of my Web site (janburke.com), and let me know what you have in mind. Maybe we can work something out.
Yours,
Jan
Hi Jan! I just found this entry through Google. (Not Googling myself for ego, but for mistaken identity. Do it. You'll see what I'm talking about.) Your post was awfully sweet. Thank you! What a nice and fun find! I would love to send you a larger print of it if you'd like.
