I’ve been quiet since December.
Not because I stopped writing. Because I stopped talking about it. I had good reason. I was preparing Whispers of Echo Canyon for release.
That took everything. And it’s only been 12 days since it started selling. I can’t immediately rev back up to the pace I held while editing Whispers. That kind of push isn’t sustainable.
Today I’m saying it clearly: I’m drafting Book 2.
Mirage of Trust is Quinn’s story. You met her in Whispers.
For thirty years she worked in Homeland Security. Identity protection. Border security. Espionage cases. Controlled. Precise. Unshakeable.
Until she wasn’t.
When I finished Whispers of Echo Canyon, I knew Quinn’s steadiness had a crack in it. She called Riley from Hawaii, after returning there from Australia, and asked to be picked up at the airport. The line went dead.
That was the moment the canyon stood still.
For the next six weeks, I’m focused. Drafting. Tightening. Locking in the first arc. No wandering into side projects. No marketing rabbit holes. Just writing.
Here’s how April will work.
Chapters 1–3, published weekly starting in April, will be fully free. Anyone can read them and settle into the story. Subscribers, followers, the casually curious.
Beginning with Chapter 4, the door closes. The rest moves inside Story Insiders, my paid subscribers.
Readers told me they want to hold my book in their hands, not skim past it. That’s what I’m building.
If you haven’t met these women yet, Whispers of Echo Canyon is where it begins. https://mybook.to/WhispersofEchoCanyon
