CLOAK GAMES: HAMMER BREAK underway!
Happy Independence Day, American readers!
Now that SEVENFOLD SWORD: CHAMPION is out, it’s time to start on my next book, CLOAK GAMES: HAMMER BREAK.
Actually, I’m already 50,000 words into HAMMER BREAK, currently on Chapter 10 of 15. I think it will likely wind up around 75,000 words, which will make it the longest of the CLOAK GAMES books. If all goes well, CLOAK GAMES: HAMMER BREAK and a bonus short story will be out in August.
Here’s a short preview:
I sat and folded my arms over my chest. “Fine. So, what do you want? The deal was that I would steal three things for you, and I’ve already done one. So what’s the second thing? Hair plugs for Corbisher? A voucher for acting lessons for Vicky?”
“Something far more valuable and far more difficult to obtain,” said Nicholas.
“And just what is that?” I said.
The sinking feeling came back. I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to like what he said next.
Nicholas smiled. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to rob the Royal Bank of Washington DC.”
Silence answered his pronouncement. I guess Nicholas hadn’t mentioned his plans to the others. Hailey’s eyes had gone enormous, and Vass’s mouth had fallen open. Even Morelli looked mildly surprised.
“Oh,” I said.
This was bad.
