Well, school is back in session. Our boys are now in 8th and 11th grades and started at a new school this year. We’re sad that summer’s over but glad to be getting closer to the ‘ber months. In a few weeks I’ll be headed to the annual writer’s conference at St. Pete Beach and meeting up with my author friends. I think this is year #7 going to it.
I’m still toying with writing a series around Jami and have spent the last month doing research. What’s exciting—and a little scary—is that I’m thinking of switching genres slightly if I’m going to do it. Sure, I could write a political thriller like the Jordan novels. But I’m leaning towards a psychological thriller for Jami’s story. I think that’ll push me to try something different and the change could help me become a better writer. There are a ton of authors who write similar books at the conference so I’m excited to pick their brains so that if I write the book I make the story the best that it can be for Jami.
In case you missed it: I’m excited to share that my new release, PRIME SUSPECT, is out now in paperback! This was was a fun book to write, taking Blake Jordan back to where it all started in the first book in the series—at DDC, Chicago—working alongside Morgan, Chris, Jami, and a new character I’ve introduced, Allie Hunt. It’s about a relentless pursuit of truth in the face of danger, deception, and a web of lies. I hope it keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. I know you’ll love it.
