Autumn is truly and well here in our part of the Great White North.  It’s a gray, wet and mildly depressing Tuesday outside.  The dog keeps hoping for his walk, but I’m afraid it won’t happen today.

My editor is currently working on Without Mercy (Siobhan Dunmoore Book 5) and after the first pass, she says it’s looking good.  No major surgery required.  While she does her thing, I’m working on the nuts and bolts of publication – nailing down the cover, the description, getting the various sales channels set up, preparing the print issues, etc.  An early October date for its release is becoming more and more realistic, if my editor can finish by the end of the month, as she hopes to do.  If you haven’t seen the paperback version’s cover yet, you can see it on my Facebook page.

I’m also back to writing Hard Strike, the seventh Decker’s War adventure, which I hope to complete before Christmas.  If you haven’t yet read the interview with Zack Decker, don’t miss out.  He’s in fine form and as funny as ever.
