Now Available - "The Wasted Grave"

In this sequel to The Winter Calf, Charles Funkhauser rushes to Maple Gap when he reads that Iris Littleton has nearly drowned in a flood - and that a boy who may been his son is lost.
The Wasted Grave changed greatly from what I had originally intended. Midway through writing the sequel, I realized that I had two two separate novels - one occurring just after Elias' disappearance and a second occurring several years after the conclusion of The Winter Calf. I am still drafting this third novel, which involves Jerome meeting his grandfather, and hope to complete it by early Autumn.

My "Maple Gap" Pinterest Board
A writer friend of mine noted how valuable Pinterest was for coming up with ideas, locales, and people for her novels. I tried it - and have created a "Maple Gap" board based upon the settings and characters in "The Winter Calf". It has already inspired some great ideas for the sequel - a story about Charles Funkhauser - that I am completing now.
The board can be found here: https://www.pinterest.com/michaelnuckols/inspiration-for-the-maple-gap-series-of-books/
Many thanks to my readers who have written words of encouragement to continue this series. I am more excited than ever about the sequels (Yes - two books are in the works with a third outlined!).
