[Next entry: "February 2007 Update"]

10/19/2006: "Welcome to my web site"

Greetings to family, fans, friends and those just curious about who is Douglas Quinn and what does he write. Here's a brief run down on my current book projects: The Catalan Gambit, a suspense/thriller, was released in 2004. A second suspense/thriller, The Spanish Game, has just been released (August 2006). Blue Heron Marsh, a mystery/suspense novel set in the Albemarle Sound/Outer Banks area of Northeast North Carolina will be released in April 2007, and I am currently working on a historical fiction/adventure novel--I'm about 140 pages into it.

What's on the slate in the future? I have one more suspense/thriller on the agenda, which will be the final book of the Ellis family sagas. In the future, I plan to begin a new and unique series using several of the characters in The Spanish game. Blue Heron Marsh is the first of a series of Webb Sawyer mysteries, of which I have three more outlined. The historical fiction/adventure novel I am currently working on is the first of a trilogy covering the time periods 1642 through the end of the 18th Century and the U.S.Revolutionary War. I also have several independent book projects in the works, including a cartoon book and a children's book.

As you may have guessed, I am a dedicated and prolific writer. With this writing schedule, not to mention the time it takes to promote my work, I don't spend a lot of time "chatting" online. However, I do like to hear from family, fans and friends who are interested in my work, and I will take the time to answer your queries in this forum. In the meantime, please browse my web site. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them.

Smiles, Doug
