I have made a few changes to my Mafia Series. First, because I haven't had time, and the book has not been flowing as well as I'd like, book four's, Retired Mafia, release date has been pushed back to March 1st instead of February 1st. I'll still have a giveaway, which will start January 19th. I know this is an inconvenience but I feel that it can't be helped. I also like the idea of the book being released in March, St Patrick's Day!

Second, last night while I was writing I looked down at page 473. Book four would have been 550-600 pages and I really don't like the idea of the last book being twice the size of the other three books in the series. So... I have decided to split this book. There will be five books in the Mafia Series. I feel this is a positive because the last book was feeling rushed and I felt like I was pushing past things that should have had more detail and I should have spent more time on. I feel like I was hurrying past things and condensing them so I could fit everything into the book. Now I have time and room to fit everything in. I feel this is a negative because I have no idea what I'm going to name the fifth book. I'm also inconveniencing my wonderful friend who designs my book covers. Thank goodness she has patience with me.

Check back in a few weeks for my book giveaway and you can head over to my Facebook page now for a chance to win a Sneakpeak at book four.

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all of you the best in the New Year.
