Fans of the Jane Bunker mysteries may have to wait just a bit longer for the marine investigator's next outing: in an article on Working Waterfront, reporter Kris Osgood writes that author of the series, Linda Greenlaw, and her publisher, Hyperion, have come to an agreement releasing her from her contractual obligation to write a third Jane Bunker mystery. In the meantime, Greenlaw, a commercial fisherman, has written her first non-fiction book in five years, tentatively titled Seaworthy, which chronicles a 52-day swordfishing voyage she made last fall. Greenlaw is currently appearing in the Discovery Channel's documentary series "Swords: Life on the Line".
According to the article, halfway through her work on the second book in the series, Fisherman's Bend, the editor Greenlaw had always worked with at Hyperion quit his job. "I really liked him," she said, "he had become a good friend." He continued to work with her to finish Fisherman's Bend, but that was it.
Greenlaw says she enjoys writing non-fiction, but hasn't ruled out a third Jane Bunker mystery.
We reviewed Fisherman's Bend last year and rather enjoyed it, calling it a cozy of sorts, but adding "the author's fresh take on the heroine, setting, and even storyline elevates it to something more and arguably better." Read our full review of Fisherman's Bend on Mysterious Reviews.
