I love the Miss Zukas mysteries. My coworkers and I have read all the books in the series and eagerly await each new book. When is the next one coming out?

when is your latest book being released?

I am anxious for another Helma & Ruth book. And I think maybe Helma should stick with Boy Cat. I'm not too sure about Wayne! I'm a librarian too and my daughter is in grad school at Western Washington. Should I move out and be Helma's neighbor?! Katy riley

I love Helma and Ruth! When can we read of their further adventures and the ongoing romance in a new book?

I am writing this message Feb. 15, 2003. Thus far I cannot find any new Jo Dereske "Helma Zukas" mysteries that have been published. Have I missed something or has Ms. Dereske stopped writing her wonderful books? Alice

I just finished "...Raven's Dance" and thought the weather in the Northwest and its effect on the community was an important part of the 'atmosphere' of the story, especially the frantic patrons of the library and the box of tissues that were kept at the desk. Even Boy Cat got drencched. Jo Dereske has really set her stories and Ms Zukas in a great locale. I like Ms Zukas real independence and the her moral values. I just wish there were more stories coming. Everybody, remember it is Wilhelmina, even to her friends.

Are there any new books after Miss Zukas Shelves the Evidence and Short Cut???

When is Ms. Dereske going to write aother Miss Zukas or "cuts" book? I miss her books.

There does not seem to be anything on the horizon from Dereske.

I'm frantically trying to find info about Jo Dereske. Is she still writing? Her e-mail adress no longer exists. Anyone with info ?

Valerie, I found an email address. I have no idea if it is still functional.

Jo Dereske

Fran Thank you for your help. I've tried this e-mail address and am waiting to see if it produces any results. Happy reading!

After a gap of 2 years, here's news of Helma and Ruth....for those who haven't found out already there's a new book out: Bookmarked to Die. Jo Dereske took time out after her husband died, but now she's back . Happy reading

The tenth book in the Miss Zukas series Catalogue of Death is now available!
