Happy New Year & Update!

I sent a very long-winded email to my newsletter, but I’ll post a shorter version here:  I went through a lot of personal stuff in 2019 including finally facing and working on recovering from my life-long eating disorder (I’m still in recovery, it’s a process, but it is getting easier and I feel more “me” than I have in a long, long time).  This meant that in 2019 I did a lot of work that was beneath the surface of what people see, both personally and professionally.  I have a lot of novels mostly drafted and so the good news is that in 2020, you all are going to see the results of that labor.  Plus I have some new systems in place that should help me be more consistent with my writing going forward (the biggest of these is a new office *outside* the home!).

Book 10 is a bit progressed from the last update but still needs a little work, however I’m somewhat comfortable saying end of this month or sometime early Feb for it given what is left to do. So we’ll open the new year with a new book soon(tm)!

The other cool news is that I have a release date and pre-order links for the NEXT thing, which is a spin-off series featuring Alek’s sister Kira. You might remember her from Thicker than Blood, but you’ll never forget her after you read Bad Moon on the Rise, coming in October this year.  Here’s the pre-order links:  For Kindle click HERE.  For everywhere else click HERE.  And here’s the amazing cover, shot and designed by Gene Mollica:

As you can see, these books will be a bit different from Jade’s story, but no less kick-ass I promise (actually more ass-kicking cause Kira doesn’t really see violence as a problem since she’s an apex predator and all).  Kira’s books will also be about twice as long as Jade’s, though I’m planning the series to run three or four books, depending how it shakes out, so if you prefer meatier reads get ready (they’ll still be fast-paced, this is me we are talking about after all).

And in final news, if you liked Avarice, I’m posting chapters of the sequel, Wrath, on my Patreon since my followers chose it. There are also sneak previews of things (like the first chapter of Harper’s Tale!) and full short stories posted there.  Come join us and check it out!

I wish you all a happy New Year!

    I’m glad you’re in recovery! I know how hard it is. I’ve been clean almost 7 years from drugs. My son battles with eating disorders, so we’re praying for you. So excited for the books, but will wait however long is necessary, so long as you take care of yourself. Thank you for the update.
