Hopefully, you've all had the chance to read Honor Bound by now. Be sure to let me know what you thought of it, and if you're so inclined, a review on your bookseller-of-choice's website would be great, too. Those help with getting visibility and such (algorithms!).
Next up, I'm thinking about a standalone story, tentatively titled Tangled Assets (working cover attached below). This is going to be heavily Harmony Concepts-inspired, as it will center around two opposing spies and their mutual desire for a Maguffin. They will be constantly stealing it from each other, leaving the defeated one in a knotty predicament.
Fans of the Triple Jeopardy series may have to wait a bit, as I'm still having plot issues with the next book in the series. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, and as long as the heroines wind up in ropes at various intervals, it'd be okay, but let me see if an interstitial project loosens the ol' brain up a bit.
As always, thank you for your support and attention.
I've got Honor Bound set for a Thursday, July 24, 2025 release at all of the major ebook retailers.

While I'd wanted Honor Bound to be ready before the USA Independence Day holiday, I had a minor setback.
Without going into great detail, one of my best friend's mother died unexpectedly. His father had died a few years prior from cancer, and he was taking it pretty hard. His mom was one of the most welcoming people I'd ever met, and she didn't mind when my punk/metal-head college self started walking into her house and just hanging out for hours (and sometimes days) at a time.
Plus, he and I hadn't hung out very much at all over the past 10–15 years, so it was good to reconnect on that front a bit. Hell, he was one of the people who'd gotten me into writing in the first place, as we both loved comic books at the time and wanted to be a creative force along the lines of the early Image titles.
While that never happened, life did, and we fast-forward to today...
The first-round edits are done. Now, I just want to run the story through Grammarly, do another read-through, and then I'll start setting up the book for publication. It should be available at the end of July at the latest.
This is just a quick note to say the first draft of Honor Bound (Jade Pham #3) is finally complete.
I'll probably begin editing next week and look for a release somewhere around the end of June.
Subscribers in the $1+/month tier will see a second post with a PDF download of the initial draft.
Thanks again, and hope you're all having a great spring!
