Mourning Dove (EMPATHY #2) Now Available!
On the release day of book two in the EMPATHY series, I thought I’d look back on what went into writing it and thank those of you who helped bring Mourning Dove into the world.
From the book’s acknowledgements—
It is strange to have written this book.
After having written Imminent Dawn over the course of five years, the five months in which I drafted Mourning Dove feel as though they existed out of time. It isn’t until I think of the individuals whose support helped shape this novel that those months come back to me, complete with their feverish sunrise drafting sessions and much pacing around the apartment.
First of all, thank you, Lacey. Your patience and encouragement as I wrote this book in the lead up to our wedding cannot be repaid. This book is better for your grace and understanding, and I know that I am, too.
To my beta readers, M.A. Hinkle and Scott Birrenkott, your feedback was a tremendous boon in my ability to submit this manuscript confidently, and I thank you for it. The series’ cast of characters thanks you for it, too, though I’m sure they’d prefer things worked out a bit differently for them. We’ll see how it all comes together in the end; perhaps they’ll have reason for further thanks as the series progresses.
I’m also indebted to Catherine Labelle and Tilyian Morrin, whose respective input on the novel’s use of French and details about Costa Rica helped bring those locales and cultures to life.
And, as always, thank you to Raevyn at NineStar Press and my editor, Stacey Jo, for all you’ve done to get this book and series where it is today. Natasha Snow has again created a phenomenal cover, and I’m so looking forward to what she creates for the later installments in the series.
Finally, I want to thank the readers of Imminent Dawn, whose excitement and engagement rejuvenate me at every turn. I’m thrilled to know you’re along for this ride.
Let’s see where it takes us.

Mourning Dove now on NetGalley
It’s here! Mourning Dove is now available for reviewers to request and read via NetGalley.
Want to learn more about Mourning Dove, book two in the EMPATHY sci-fi saga? The full description can be found below.
In the aftermath of the calamitous Human/Etech research study, Chandra and Kyra struggle to reclaim the life they shared in a pre-EMPATHY world, while Ty, armed with knowledge of EMPATHY’s programming language, seeks revenge on the Halmans for the harm that’s befallen his friends.
As a North American Union investigation into the happenings on the compound looms, a grief-stricken Peter works to resurrect the memory of his mother from a harvested nanochip, and Heather scrambles to keep her family—and their company—together. Alistair, having abandoned the family business, plots to save his hide and that of his wife while she strives to stay one step ahead of a husband she has no reason to trust.
Far to the north amid civil unrest, a recently retired Rénald Dupont investigates the disappearance of his friend and former colleague, Meredith, despite grave threats from an increasingly skittish North American Union government.
As old and new foes emerge, spouse is further pit against spouse, brother against sister, and governments against their people. In the end, all must choose between attempts to reclaim the past or surrender to the inevitable, an intractable world of their own creation.
Mourning Dove is an evocative, sweeping symphony of love, revenge, and desperation in cacophonous times. It is the second installment in r. r. campbell’s epic EMPATHY sci-fi saga.
You can find Mourning Dove on NetGalley here.
