When is the next River Reapers MC book coming?

I just got three emails in a row asking about A Lasting Prospect, the fourth (and final?) book in the River Reapers MC series. I never expected this series to take off like this, and I’m so happy you all love Olivia and Cliff so much! Let me answer some of your burning questions.

“Lasting” is coming! The series hasn’t been cancelled. In 2021, I briefly had a pre-order link up for Book 4 and took it down. If you pre-ordered it, you got an email from Amazon letting you know the pre-order had been removed, and you were never charged. (Retailers only charge you when the book is released and available in your device library.)

To give it to you straight, I just barely released A Fatal Prospect in 2021. I was seriously ill with my UCTD, and thankfully I’d already written the book. With the help of my editor Traci Finlay, I got it revised, then self-published.

I hoped I could get “Lasting” written and revised for 2022, but it just didn’t work out that way. I went on medical hiatus and focused on getting better.

In the meantime, I’d started writing a more lighthearted series (but still very much on-brand). I pitched it to Rakuten Kobo’s publishing imprint Kobo Originals, and signed a four-book deal with them. A Touch of Gold was published earlier this year, and Book 2 is coming this fall.

Working with a publisher has given me the opportunity to continue publishing. My team with Kobo Originals handles all the things I struggle to juggle on my own, while I get to focus on writing (and taking care of myself). I’m currently focused on finishing out this contract, and then I can’t wait to return to Olivia and Cliff’s world.

While you await A Lasting Prospect, I hope you’ll check out my small town tattoo shop romance, A Touch of Gold.

If that isn’t your thing, don’t forget that I released a prequel to the River Reapers MC series, the novella Her Mercy. It tells Bree and Mercy’s story, while explaining how the club was founded and why Cliff went to prison.

Speaking of stories, you can read the quarantine chronicles (featuring the River Reapers’ shenanigans during shutdown), and a Halloween special (where the River Reapers throw a spooky bash and “take care” of a rat in the club)—both for free right here on my blog.

And the best way to stay updated on all my books is through my email newsletter.

So stay tuned, because I’m far from done with the River Reapers world. I appreciate you guys so much for being so patient!

🖤
