Just checking in…

By the way, can I just say how awesome you guys are? Angels and Assassins has accumulated over 100 reviews in a month, and I do look at them and take down any constructive feedback I come across.

I’m just checking in as I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been working on a few different things that I’ve been giving my full attention (especially since they’re paying my bills lol). I also have something in the works that I think readers will like (especially Angels and Assassins readers). It’s something that I hope will hold you guys over while I work on Kellen’s story.

But for now, back to the grind.

Oh wait? What’s this? An excerpt?!  (unedited)

“Where is he?” Joel demanded.

“Jojo, it’s not your—”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

His jaw pulsed when he noticed the degree of difficulty it took for her to speak, and to call him the nickname she’d been using for as long as he could remember that he’d never had the heart to tell her how much he hated.

“Where is he, Syd?”
