Hey all!

OK, it's nearly a new month, which means story time. Lately I've been posting chapters from GRAND THEFT SORCERY, but we've hit a snag—a good snag, but still a snag.

Today, I sent GTS off to my editor. (No, I don't have a release date yet.) That means I've finished the rough, I've made a revision pass, gone back and adjusted all the things I found in said revision pass... and now the story is significantly different from what you have been reading.

Last month we left off with Evan and Sunday mid-heist, with action and tension everywhere. I COULD move on with that, and that'd be the easiest thing to post this month, BUT you'd be reading something that will change when the book comes out. While doing revisions, I cut and lifted half of a scene from the next chapter and relocated it to the beginning of the book, and there's set-ups and payoffs that have now been switched around. However, you were, as I said, mid-heist.

I'm not sure which is the best direction, so I thought I'd ask you all which you prefer.

I can give you the next chapter of GTS as it was originally written. This is the easiest thing for me, because it's already done, and it means I can move directly on to my next big project (Good Intentions 5). Your second option is that I can pause the GTS chapters and work up a new short story from one of my established series (Good Intentions, or Poor Man's Fight, or maybe even a Hot Restart short... probably Good Intentions, but I haven't decided). If you'd prefer that, it'll be a little later than normal. I've been super-focused on GTS, so I'd be starting from scratch, but it'll be my next priority!

Take your pick, and I'll go with whichever polls strongest as of the end of the 31st!

I love all of your characters and the body of your work, but I'll happily drown in anything you write in Tanner's universe, sir.

Michael LaRowe

I'm excited to read GTS as a book. I don't need to be teased any more, and I miss the rest of the guys!

Karl-Johan Norén

I’m not unhappy with either option, but I’ll happily take some smuttiness. BTW, have you considered some of your backlist to fill Tess’s narration schedule? Like Wandering monsters or Great power?

Christof Ley (Bradley)

I'm always one to push for more Wandering Monsters content if ya have any :) Also something new with the Days of High Adventure crew would be fun too!

Jacob Hufstader

I’m ok with whatever works best for you. But given the vote, I’m with Karl-Johan, I wouldn’t mind some GI smuttyness

I have always enjoyed everything you've written. So, I'll leave it up to you to chose.

Clyde Williams

You built such a great setting with Hot Restart. I would love anything you could throw out in that corner of the elliottverse.

Honestly, I just wait until I can get the final product from Kindle now. I tried reading the serials but felt like I'd cheated when I subsequently bought the finished books. In between your books coming out there's always William Arand/Randi Darren or Mallory Cooper to keep me busy! ;)
