Announcing: The Title for Book Four!!!!(!!!!)

I am so, so, SO proud to share with you that book four now has a title.

AGENT DARCY & NINJA STEVE: SHOGUN SHOWDOWN

I have just wrapped up the second draft of the manuscript, which means I’ll need another round or two of polish before moving along (working with my editor to tighten up the scenes, coming up with back cover summary stuff, etc.).

All I can tell you at the moment is that a trip to Bushido
