I have a romantic screenplay I work on when I need to break from my novels.

I recently received a very nice review of my book, Exposure. #Booksky #bookreview aenigmascenes.com/2026/10/08/e...

Exposure: A Great Fall Read
I love the Colorado mountains, so this murder mystery and thriller sounded like the perfect escape for an autumn read, and it delivered.

Yes, but not only will I be switching genres, I’ll be writing a new screenplay.

I have ideas for books 5 and 6, if I don’t get burned out. That happened with my previous series. That one had 4 books.

I might have the first draft of the fourth book in the Coyote Canyon series finished by the end of this month. Then, I’ll be taking a little break from the CC series. Wildfire has A LOT of tension in it and I need to work on something a little more lighthearted to cleanse my mind. #writesky #booksky

Iced, Book 3 in my Coyote Canyon Mystery series should be out sometime after the first of the year. I loved writing this book. Before Iced is released, catch up on the world of the Sheriff's Department with Exposure, book 1 and Avalanche, book 2. #Booksky #writesky #murdermystery amzn.to/4cPtSuD

I am so excited to share the debut of the book trailer for my thriller, Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery. the book was released earlier this year.

Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery
Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery by Carol Preflatish. After a skier is shot and dies during a planned avalanche mitigation, Sheriff Sam Winslow becomes the prime suspect. The victim is the ex-husband of Sam’s former girlfriend. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation was called in and Sam is arrested. He refuses to give an alibi, and things look bad for the sheriff unless his team of deputies can find the real killer. You can find Avalanche on Amazon, or almost any online major bookstore. https://carolpre.blogspot.com/p/book-links.html Video created by www.OtherWorldsVideo.com

I do my best book plotting right before I fall asleep at night. Normally, I can remember it the next morning. Last night, I came up with the perfect back cover blurb for the book I'm writing. So of course, I can't remember it today. Tonight, I will keep my digital recorder by the bed. 🥱🛌😴 #booksky

Yesterday, instead of my screenplay, I decided to work on my new mystery. I’m on chapter three, but let me tell you, the first two chapters were the most tense chapters I’ve ever written. I even shed a tear or two writing them. #writingcommunity #murdermystery #2028release

It was a long, tiring day of selling books. The rain stayed away until it was time to load our cars at the end of the day, but my good sales were worth getting wet. 🌧️ #booksky #writesky

While taking a break from doing edits on the 3rd book of my mystery series, I opened the document for the 4th book. I only wanted to read over the few pages I had written. Instead, I did a little editing and before I knew it, I had finished the first chapter. #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

The worst part about writing a police procedural book is consistency. I finished my second round of self-edits over the weekend and I still have things to fix. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love this book, but damn. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

I had a very exciting night last night. My screenplay, Stalked, was named runner-up in the short screenplay category at the Imaginarium Convention. I know the other nominees and honestly didn’t think I had a chance. I was ready to give up screenwriting, but may stick with for a while now. #scriptsky

I finished the first round of self-edits last week on book 3 of my series. This weekend, I started doing a few things on book 4, which is giving me trouble. It’ll be about a wildfire in Colorado. It feels wrong to write it with the fires burning there now. 😞 #writesky

No editing done today. This is my office after putting together a printer stand for my new printer. The process for the stand or setting up my printer was not fun and my office ended up in a mess. Thank goodness tomorrow is trash day. #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky

Let me just say, I hate superglue. While my fingers are not bonded together, I now have dried glue on them. According to the back of the package, I’m going to have to let it wear off on its own. 🤦🏻‍♀️
