45,000 down and ??? to go…

Just passed 45,000 words in the first draft of the final book in my trilogy of West Virginia mysteries. Feels like I’m halfway home, and those senior citizen sleuths are right on track to figure out who done it. The lives of Eden, Bethanne and Jimmy Lee continue from the previous books and will also come to some resolution here. But I’m hoping my readers will create more stories for all the characters in their own minds.
