When Caroline Todd passed away, it was such a great loss that I wondered if Charles would continue writing. I just got this email from Charles with some good news:
“My good news is that Ian Rutledge and Bess Crawford live on. I signed a four-book contract with Mysterious Press. A Christmas Witness, a Rutledge Christmas Novella, will be released October 21,2025 and A Day of Judgement will be released on February 17th of 2026. I am hard at work on the MS for the new Bess Crawford that will be released next.”
