To me, it seems like both forever and just a few months ago that THE AGENT was released (Jan. 2021). We were still in the throes of the pandemic when time became a strange, elastic thing that warped and twisted. I struggled to be creative for many months and then...an idea began to percolate in my writer's brain. An idea about a present-day fictional island country with a king and nobles who were truly noble, who believed in duty, honor, and integrity. And so Caleva was born. The first book is titled ROYAL CALEVA: GABRIEL. It will be released April 25th, 2023. I'm almost finished with writing it and cannot wait to share it with you, my wonderful readers. The cover will be coming soon (I hope!). Thanks for your patience in sticking with me!

Ben Cavill is very popular with my readers so I can almost guarantee that he will get his own happily-ever-after. I'm just not sure exactly when it will happen. :-) But I love him too and agree that he deserves it. His story would be part of my new Second Glances series, so make sure to check out the novella that kicks it off: SECOND TO NONE, releasing in September. Loved hearing from you!(less)
