I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people asking when Ark will be coming out. For the last few weeks I’ve been dealing with a snag in the story. I finally realized that I have a choice to make. Do I stick with my outline, plow through the snag, and compress the heck out of the original story? Or, do I change my outline? This snag is not actually a bad thing, it’s been a really cool edition to the story, so cool in fact I think the story would suffer without it. The problem is that I was going to have to compress what was intended to be the last half of the book…or, I could just make the Contractor series a four book series, not a three book series, which was something that my outline originally called for. I now know that I should have trusted my gut and kept it as a four book series. It would have saved me some serious time and frustration over the last few weeks, but such is life. So the bad news: Ark will not be coming out anytime soon. The good news: I am on track to complete Healer fairly soon. Especially now that I’m not pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make the story work

Another great part about extending the series by one more title is that I can do a lot of stuff in the new Ark that I was not going to be able to do with the current manuscript. So I went from one book that I’ve been concerned about over the last few weeks, to two books that should be awesometacular if I do say so myself. Thank you guys for reading the Contractor books and I hope you enjoy Healer as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
