PHASE SHIFT releases today!
This is it, the final book in the Chaos Station series. In some respects, I can't believe it's been just over a year since the release of Chaos Station. In others, it feels as if I've been living and breathing Felix and Zander for half my life. (If we examine the number of hours Jenn and I spent writing, revising, rewriting, editing and reading these books, it's pretty damn close. :) ) As a reader, I'm always sad to leave a world I've loved behind. As a writer, I'm stepping aside with more mixed feelings. I love these guys, I love the crew of the Chaos. I'd love to write them forever. But I'm a strong believer in Happy Ever Afters, and I truly think Felix and Zander deserve theirs. It's time for Jenn and me to step back and let them live out the rest of their lives undisturbed by us.
(We do have ideas for a spin off series, however!)
What's next for us? We're currently working on two projects, one a series of loosely connected contemporaries that tell sweet love stories. The other is a new world, one we're calling 'light paranormal'. We're really excited about both projects and will talk more about them as we finish writing and find a home for both series.
In the meantime, enjoy this last adventure with Zed and Flick - and don't be shy. Tell us what you loved, what you'd like to see more of. Remind us we need to give these guys a honeymoon - and that when we do, it should be a sweet and sappy story with no weapons, hackers, criminal cartels and psychotic scientists.
To follow our tour, visit my blog for a schedule and links. We'll be sharing three exclusive excerpts, trivia about the crew, our thoughts on series, love stories and why we love science fiction so much and, of course, there is a giveaway!

Therapy
It’s been a month since the release of Phase Shift. We miss our guys, but we’re working on new stories with new characters we hope you’ll come to love just as much as Zander, Felix and the Chaos crew.
In the meantime, enjoy this cut scene and a sneak peek at the cover of our last Chaos Station short, “Honeymoon”.
Therapy
If you thought the guys were in desperate need of therapy by the end of Skip Trace, you’re weren’t alone!
Skip Trace (Chaos Station #3) was probably the most heavily edited of the five books. We had to rearrange a few things and cut a few scenes we really loved. One of the cut scenes was a therapy session with Zander, Felix and Dr. McMann – who gets several mentions in the later books!
While we understood therapy would be an important element in the journey of both men, the following scene slowed the pace of the ending too much, so we ended up taking some of the relevant parts out (such as how Felix broke his hand) and using them in other scenes. As a whole, this scene remains one of our favourites, however, and we like to imagine this session did actually happen as written, shortly after the events of Skip Trace.

Honeymoon
Zander and Felix deserve a break! Downtime is difficult for these former soldiers; no doubt they’ll find an adventure or two aboard the drift cruiser Biswas. There will be no severed limbs, near death experiences or kidnappings in this story! But this is Zed and Flick, so not everything is going to go exactly as planned.
Coming at the end of June!
