I’m sorry for the delay in posting. I have a goal for November of getting a solid first draft of the first 15 chapters of The Enigma Key (aka SPI Files 9). However, life keeps pushing in, and I keep shoving back, but I’m making progress and that’s good. Thank you SO MUCH to all of you…

First, a book update. The Enigma Key (SPI Files #9) is going GREAT! In the past two weeks, I’ve “roughed in” the first 17 chapters. Not bad, not bad at all. I’m really pushing to have this out by late spring. Then I’ll be writing a NEW RAINE BENARES book. I promise! When I start it next summer, it will have…

I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I’ve sent a newsletter — six months. Wow! Sorry about that! I’ve been busy living life and writing. The short list: the book grew beyond a novella, the plot got extra twisty, I planted a big garden (by hand, no machines), started all the plants in February…

It’s too bat-crap crazy over there.  There wasn’t any time for book work last week. This week, I’m compiling all the notes for the SPI Files novella (or novel) with the working title The Leprechaun Legacy. For a sneak peek at the villain, see the novella…

I was going to wait a few days to send this, but I thought we could all use some good news today. (The banner art on this newsletter is a clue.)  During the wee hours of last night (election night here in the US), I came to a decision and had an epiphany. Yep, I was awake…

First, a personal update: I had my first therapy session Monday morning. Wow! I really like my therapist and think we’re going to get a lot of good work done together. Even in the first session, I got some incredible insights about myself. I put others before myself and feel incredible guilt if I don’t…

My apologies for not updating you sooner, but I’ve had a lot on my plate. But first, I want to thank each and every one of you for your emails, posts, and messages! Just when I think I have the best fans in the world, you guys raise the bar even further. : ) You…

I’ve been getting emails checking on me and my work. I’ve been putting off writing a newsletter to you all in hopes that the situation would’ve improved, and I’d be able to tell you that the next book release was right around the corner. I can’t say that. As you all have noticed, I haven’t released The Fear…

I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited to type those words!  Derek & I submitted the audio files about two weeks ago, and I *just* got the notification that it’s available for sale on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon. You guys are the very first to know. Heck, my family doesn’t even know yet. It…

  Let’s get the not-so-great news out of the way. There’s been a delay with The Solstice Countdown audiobook. This is totally my fault, and I’m so sorry. To give you the best listening experience, we want to offer Whispersync for Voice with our audiobooks. This enables you to seamlessly switch between Audible and Kindle, to either listen or…
