Hi Skip... trying again to send this as Goodreads went mad last time and gave me a big block of red text! Thanks so much for messaging! I am busy with the next Jade book - it should be finished soon, and cross fingers, will be out next year. Thank you for your patience and I hope it will be worth the wait! Happy reading and have an awesome week. Regards, Jassy
