Breaking news from Scribbleworks Publications.

Patrick Meservier has finished writing "In the Eye of the Beholder", the next installment in the Joan Darcy & the 27th Observer series. I wanted to post some new cover art but it isn't finished yet. So I'll post the one we advertised in an earlier post. Now we will begin our part and start the editing process.

I wanted to add a note here that Patrick has been working very hard on this particular novel. He was very stressed over the all of the particulars. From what I understand, it is a complex story with many old characters returning from their debut in book one with many new ones to strengthen the story. It is full of fresh ideas and a hope that there are more memories for Joan to recover.

Joan learns more about her brother René and why he and her adoptive father was killed and by whom. Clyde Savage explodes on the scene with his desire to find the artifacts. It drives him into unknown realms of his own shattered soul. We finally get to see Joan meet Damien Henninger on his floating city and the church decided to join the party. Searching for the Mirror and the Casket take Joan and her friends to France to a historic castle, and that's just the beginning. 

Milton and Miranda are just as quirky as ever. Miranda becomes jealous over her brother being able to have a relationship while she remains alone. Her heart longs for male companionship beyond that of her brother. Miranda also struggles with the fact that Joan is splitting her time between her relationship with her brother and being her best friend. When it comes to close friendships there is never enough time to share with your brother. 

There are codes to decode, unusual cipher's to grapple with, and cryptic rhymes to make you want to repeat out loud to see if you can figure them out. Of course this is not the end. Joan has many more problems to understand and memories too try to recover. 

And if you read book one, "The Telescope of Elsewhere", you'll know the reference I'm about to make. The paper airplane makes another appearance. More artifacts come into play, some the Observer programs has attained and others the church uses.  And I can't even begin to tell you about the explosive ending. 

I'm so excited about the story as I write this that I can't even imaging what book three will reveal about Joan Anne Darcy.

Patrick has now begun the the layout of book three, "The Stone of Arcconee."
