This was not the plan. Not at all. Not even the least little bit of the plan.

You've been listening to me whinge and complain that I am behind schedule on the new book for (checks watch) three weeks now. Make that four.

Despite sitting down and putting in some serious quality time with the keyboard since last week's email, Talon and Zona are much closer to their HEA, the team is no closer to finding the bad guys (that's on purpose,) and we still don't know what, exactly, happened to Zona's friend (also on purpose.)

Everything is going perfectly! Not done yet...but on track!

At least, it was.

Until last night-- or, more likely, early this morning as "bedtime"is usually around 3 a.m.-- while one of my favorite YouTube channels played some spooky hikers gone missing or cryptid encounter story in the background and my brain suddenly lit up like Christmas with what it is convinced is a really good idea.

That idea is to completely restructure the Mountain Security Protocol team and the series I thought I finally had all figured out.

I hate to admit it-- but the brain is onto something.

So onto something, in fact, that it continued to work out the new details while I slept-- I dreamed about future Rogue Ops missions all night and was still actively plotting when I woke up.

The day has been full of getting covers updated to reflect the changes and making a gazillion notes in the story bible.

I'm kinda excited.

No worries! The changes don't actually affect the Mountain Security Protocol series-- except for one character that you don't even know exists yet. It just sent my day askew and gave me a new excuse for why I'm not sharing a release date yet.

This suspense subplot thing is hard, y'all. What was I thinking?

Thanks for putting up with me while I figure it out.

Looking for Bonus Material?



Well... it seems that something went wonky with the scheduling of today's email and by the time I've checked in on it, it hasn't sent. Doesn't that just figure?

Better late than never.
