Rogue Ops Updates
Well, more like updates on everything BUT the Rogue Ops series. Sorry.
I new the first quarter of 2026 was going to be rough on the writing schedule: I started the new year up to my eyeballs in closing Mom’s estate, I was scheduled to view, explore, and make a final desision about securing a permanent campsite for the hobo house, the hobo house is getting a substantial remodel (which is being done by me,) and there were a ton– a TON– of those pesky “I want to write books, not run a business” type business things to cross off an ever-expanding to-do list.
[spoiler alert: I actually enjoy running the business almost as much as writing the stories, but the two thing use different parts of my brain and I find it exhausting to switch between them.]
I expected to be putting Unbreakable Trust up on pre-order around the end of March with a late April release date.
This is not how it has worked out in reality.
Caspian’s story continues to unfold; simmering away on the back burner of my imagination while I try to clear a million other things off the to-do list, occassionally boiling over just to remind me that it’s still there.
The rest of the team is also coming into focus, making me just as impatient to get back to writing as my characters are.
This is a challenging series for me. Everything is happening all at once and the stories are very intertwined.
If you’ve read my work up to this point, you know I thrive on cute, dirty, fluff. My books are like the dryer lint of romance. I don’t deal in external conflict, the drama is pretty low key and quickly resolved. I hope I never give you “book hangover,” and you’ve not going to get that “breaks you apart to put you back together” experience from me.
I don’t do complicated stories.
And don’t expect complicated from Rogue Ops, either! These guys have their wounds– physical and emotional– and they’re up there in the wood chasing down actual bad guys, which is a new direction for my writing, but the complicated part for me is keeping all the little puzzle pieces sorted and making sure they go together in the right order.
I’m going to get this series written– because these guys are in my head and they’re pretty demanding about deserving their books– but I’m in no danger of becoming a proper “romantic suspense” author. And when the Rogue team is wrapped up, I am all about writing a few more Match Maker stories.
If you want to hear me blather on about my processes and progresses like this on a weekly basis– join the newsletter. If you don’t need another indie author sending you email but you do want to know when I release new books– follow me on Amazon, Goodreads, or Bookbub.
That’s it.
