It's been a (too long) wait, but Harmony Black is back in action. Right to the Kill, the latest book in the series, is available now! You can find the e-book and paperback versions on Amazon, and the audiobook version won't be far behind: Susannah Jones is in the recording studio this week, and it'll be out as soon as Audible does their final approval checks.

Next up, we're still on track for the next release in the Daniel Faust series, The Locust Job, sometime in early January. I'm aiming for New Year's Day, but we'll see how long these edits take. And speaking of edits, the second Charlie McCabe novel, The Insider, just finished its first round of developmental edits and rewrites. After that comes a second round of rewrites, then copy edits, then line edits...it's a marathon, but I think the final results will be worth it.

What can I say about Right to the Kill? When the rights to the Harmony series passed back to me from its former publisher, it marked an opportunity to look at what worked in the early books, what didn't, and tighten and hone the feel of Harmony's world. There's a bit of a time jump: nearly a year has passed since the upheaval at the end of Cold Spectrum (and the upheaval of the Wisdom's Grave trilogy), and in many ways Harmony and Jessie are back to square one. They're heading out to fight the good fight all over again, but this time with their eyes wide open, and a clandestine operations group and a network of assets to provide support. They're going to need it. The stakes are higher than they've ever been, and a swarm of new enemies is coming out of the woodwork.

(Oh, and don't worry if it's been a while, or if you decide to jump into the series with this book. Just like I've recently started doing with the Faust novels, it opens with a "The Story So Far" section to bring you up to speed.)

I hope you enjoy the book, and that this unexpected early release brightened your Monday a little. We all need a little good news on Mondays, right?
