The Secret of the Old House sounds like a Nancy Drew mystery, doesn’t it? However, it isn’t; it’s a Manos mystery, the third one in the Ned McNeil series and although the story is about an old house that has a secret (or more than one secret) that isn’t the title; the title is Moonstruck and Murderous and its release date draws nearer.
Neither is Ned McNeil a Nancy Drew. There are some similarities: inquisitiveness, two friends who are staunch allies, the ability to get into trouble and get out again; but, Ned is a few years older than Nancy and instead of living with her father and a housekeeper, she lives with her cat Penny and her dog, Ulysses. She doesn’t drive a sporty little car as Nancy did. Ned drives a Ford Escape.
My publisher is doing the finishing touches to Moonstruck. Soon, I’ll be getting the proof, a mock-up of the real thing, which I’ll read One More Time for editing purposes. Then, it’ll be off to the market and you, dear readers. And, the secret hidden deep in the history of a very old house.
Sounds good, I can’t wait!
Actually, I can hardly wait too, Dianna. My proof is supposed to get to me Tuesday. After that, it should be a short wait. I hope you enjoy Ned’s third adventure.
