As promised, here are the collected tweets from September’s #WIPJoy Twitter event. Read on to find out a little about In Numina – the sequel to Murder In Absentia. I’m publishing this a little late – because as a tale of haunted houses it fits the Halloween season. (And don’t forget to check back next week, where this will be a special Halloween Felix mystery!
Hope it teases just enough for you to get excited about it (and if it does – Murder In Absentia is now on special 😉

Plus, he still hasn't paid my commission for my memoirs!— Assaph Mehr (@assaphmehr) September 15, 2016
