Will there be another Jillian Bradley novel soon? I love this series. Thank you for writing both novels and short stories about these characters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment. The series culminates with Book 11-Museums Can Be Murder. I tried to give Jillian a happily ever after ending.
DeletePlease write another Cozy Mystery series! I just loved your Jillian Bradley Mystery series! I like how your books have good morals with a strong woman character. We need many more authors like you to keep the power of prayer throughout the pages and the great story lines too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comment and suggestion I write another series. I enjoyed writing after my children left home. At this time of my life any spare time I have belongs to focusing on my grandchildren. I guess you could say it’s a wonderful excuse to see the world through their eyes.
