Long time, no see…

Well, it’s been a while. Sorry about that—entirely my fault, as I’m not very good at keeping you all updated. Then again, I’ve spent most of probably the last fifteen months or so working on the longest book I’ve written to date—Love, Honour And Surrender (Club Aegis #9), which came in at a grand total of 128,809 words, which is more than double the length of some other books, and close to 25,000 words longer than the last book in the series. It’s currently up for preorder at the usual retailers, and will be delivered to an ereader near you on 25 June 2024 if you take advantage of that preorder.

So… where am I going from here? Good question, and I wish I had a good answer for you. I’m currently tidying up the last loose ends around Lee, Tris and Thea’s story—which is the last Club Aegis story—but once that’s all done, I have to work out what I do next. There are a variety of directions I can take.

It’s been a very long time since I last wrote a story for Susan Stoker’s Special Forces: Operation Alpha world. At the end of the last book—Rachel’s Brand—Taylor Markham was in trouble and needed help. She’s still not really telling me what that trouble is, so I think she and I need to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation about what’s going on with her—especially since I have a queue of characters lined up and champing at the bit to tell me their stories.

Anyway, that’s the current situation. Once I know where I’m going next, I’ll let you know, and in the meantime, if you do pick up a copy of Love, Honour And Surrender (Club Aegis #9), I hope you enjoy it and find it was worth the wait.
