Recently I’ve received quite a few emails concerning the future of my Parker Chase series, so I wanted to provide an update regarding the goings-on of these stories and the ending ofA Republic of Shadows. First, thank you everyone for your comments and questions. I had no idea the tale would generate such a response, and I’m stoked everybody is so intrigued about what comes next.What you read is not always as it seems. Yes, things look bleak for Parker and Erika. What happens next? Well, all I can say is that while you’ll have to stay tuned, there is more to come in this series. I’m currently working on the rough draft of Book 5, which so far is as exciting as anything I’ve ever written. The possibilities for what happens are vast. Hell, right now even I don’t know what is coming. I’m figuring it out as I go, and so far things are looking fantastic. In a good way or bad? Remains to be seen.SinceAROSwas published in March, I’ve begun work on another series and have completed the first two novels, details of which will be forthcoming shortly. This is an entirely new venture, one which I’m beyond excited about, and I think you will be too. It’s a departure from my Parker Chase stories in that history isn’t the main focus, though all the action and intrigue remains, along with a heaping dose of new subject matter that will have readers on the edge of their seat. More to come on those stories later.In between drafting these two manuscripts I’ve also roughed out a draft of Book 5 and quickly discovered there aren’t enough hours in the day. I’m sure you don’t me to tell you that, so for now I’m buckling down at the keyboard to get this draft out to my editing team as soon as possible. Once I have an idea of where this tale is headed, I’ll pass it on, along with the cover, title and any other advance information I can send.Thank you to everyone who dropped me a line about the future of this series. I’m always excited to hear from you, and I can’t wait to get Book 5 finished and out for everyone to enjoy.
