Announcing "Exit Strategies"!
I am proud to announce the next book in the Alex Aberdeen series: Exit Strategies!
Here's the complicated plot:
A mysterious stranger finds Alex's heart, only to break it. Now she's going to turn Forest City upside down to find him... and destroy him.
A darker, more menacing take on Alex, her charms and flaws, using all the lessons and experiences from every project I've written since Calculated Regrets. Be prepared for a black-as-night, twisted take on everything you know and love.
Coming July 2017 in paperback and Kindle. See you there!

Exit Strategies Draft 1 is done!
...and that's a wrap on Exit Strategies!
Smoothest writing experience of any book I've written to date. Surprisingly big book for me, currently stands at 106K (Calculated Regrets was 65K, Mixed Messages was ~75K). Time flew by while writing it, that's for sure!
I can't wait to see what fans of Alex think of this. It's a step in a very different direction with the character and hopefully newcomers will find this iteration of Alex as shocking and perplexing at those who read CR when it first came out. I pulled no punches in writing scenes that will make you question her sanity or the direction of her shaky-ass moral compass.
Stay tuned for more details as beta readers give me feedback! Here's hoping!
