Upcoming books/novellas/short stories set in Raine’s world

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting emails from some of you with the same questions/requests that I thought all of you would be interested in hearing my answers to. I received the following email recently from Hannah that pretty much covered all the bases of books/novellas/short stories that I’m planning to write next […]

We have a title — FINALLY!

Yes, I know it’s been EONS since I announced a contest to name the new Raine Benares book I’m writing now, but we FINALLY have  a winner. I’ve written enough of the book to consider it a “literary toddler” of sorts. But without a name, it’s like the kid’s running around in diapers and I […]

Another snippet from The Brimstone Deception

For your reading enjoyment, here’s another snippet from The Brimstone Deception — actually it’s bigger than a snippet, more like a chunk, but there wasn’t a good place to split it, and I knew you wouldn’t mind reading something longer. ; ) At the moment, Ian was talking to our lead investigator, but he kept […]
