Well, after a lot of umming and ahhing, I've settled on a final release date for the final book in The Alpha Group. Unlocked will be coming to you on August 18th. I know this is a few weeks later than I initially indicated, and I know that sucks a lot, but as much as I want you all to have your copies ASAP, it's for the best.

When I started writing this series, I made myself a promise I'd be as transparent as possible with you all. I know the structure is a bit unorthodox (long novellas with cliffhangers) which I've blogged about before, and I wanted to make sure everyone knew what they were getting into. That meant posting how many parts there were, their titles, and some projected release dates.

Unfortunately, to put it simply, I overestimated myself. I'm still very new to all of this, and I was just so keen to get the conclusion to everyone that I set myself a deadline that left me no wiggle room at all. In retrospect, two months between books was always verging on too ambitious. The second part of the series flowed out of me fairly easily, and if I'd been able to maintaing that pace I'd have been okay, but the third has been much tougher. There's more elements to juggle and I've hit a few brick walls, and couple that with some personal issues that slowed me down, and it means I can't quite hit the July date I wanted. I could try and rush it out the door, but you, me, and the story all deserve better than that.

I'm super sorry to let you down. I feel awful. I hate not being able to keep my word. Hopefully you can all forgive me. It's only a few weeks extra! I will make it up to you with an awesome release day giveaway, and lots of teasers in the interim =)
