I’m back after an extended layoff. My apologies to everyone. I’ll try to explain quickly. I had a small problem. It is what every writer fears. No, not writers block. I lost Book Two. Somehow it disappeared from my computer. Backups also and I can’t explain it. But after several months of being disappointed and almost saying “Well that’s it time to start over.” Things began to fall into place. My editor found most of the chapters and I recently found hard copies of the rest. So with many backups in place I’m back to writing full force!

In this new update I have added chapter four and chapters one through three have been updated as well. I hope you enjoy and I am looking forward to your feedback! Click here to read the preview of Hostile Takeover.

There are some changes in this version though. After careful consideration and suggestions by some editors and agents, I am changing the Bindl boys’ names. Alec will now be Orion, Ty will now be Castor, Orion will now be Pollux, and Zach is Skye. While it took me time to wrap my own mind around this big change I have gotten used to it and actually like the change. But this means that Book One is in the middle of a second edition change so we can insert the new names. If you have Book One now hang on to it! Who knows Right?

So with all that said it’s time to get back to writing! I am hoping to have Hostile Takeover’s first draft done by December. Also one last small note. I’ve started a completely different project called Moonfleet. I’ll keep you all posted on that as well.

Thanks for all your patience!
