Things are starting to look up! “The Emperor’s Wolf” is now under contract to Loose ID, so both it and “Gaven: The Bonding” are in the final stages. Still no date though; will let you know as soon as possible. I finished the stand alone book “Taken”, a contemporary story about Landon, a young mercenary who, to save his brother, is sent on a mission to kidnap the brother of a mob boss. If only it had stayed that uncomplicated… This book drove me up the wall. I kept thinking it was done and then the story went on and changed and…sometimes these characters are a pain, through and through. Oh well, Landon finally has his story… I just sent the manuscript to Samhain publishing, so we will see where it goes from there. Now I can take a few days off for a job well done! Yay! Maybe I can actually get out and see the sun… Take Care J.C
