Welcome to DT Mularkey Author Page's Writing News

The second book in my Drake's Key series is nearing completion before final publication. The Dead Return should complete the galley proofing this month. As soon as I have a final publication date, I'll post it.

It's Here! Publication date for The Dead Return is July 30, 2025. Preorders are usually available 10 weeks before that date. See The Seven Year Glitch page for probably websites that will carry the book. 

Melissa from Tornado Alley chapter of Sisters in Crime and I had a delightful Zoom interview in late January. We covered discussions about The Seven Year Glitch and themes I like to use in my books.  She asked a bit about my writing process and professional history. If you follow me on Tik Tok you can see what I look like without all those lovely and kind filters.

I have three books in progress at this moment:

1. The third book in my Drake's Key series. I may be over optimistic, but I am hoping to have this published or at least in the queue for printing. before summer ends.

2. I WWII historical novel featuring a woman pilot who flies in the Aircraft Transport Auxiliary in Britain delivering planes to bases, factories, air fields.

3. A WWII WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) who teach Armu pilots to fly the B-24.

I have two early  books that are finished, and I am shopping around. I also have a memoir I am working on as an ebook.

I am registered for the Oklahoma Writers' Federation Inc. scheduled for May1-3, 2025, in Oklahoma City. I always meet great writers and pick up a few tips myself. I have entered several of the categories of the writing contest, so stary tuned for the results. I got an honorable mention last year for a book.

Hoping Barnes and Noble remembers me from last year on OKC. WIP
