Sophia Press merges with colleges

My publisher, Sophia Institute Press, has successfully completed a merger with two Catholic colleges. The story is here: http://www.catholic.org/college/story.php?id=41014 This means that the company is preserved, the fiction line will be retained, and VIPER has been scheduled for release in June. Further details as they become available-

In other news....

My publisher, Sophia Press, was recently acquired by Thomas More College. In the process of negotiating the merger, all book contracts were put on hold - which explains the delay of Viper's release. I haven't heard yet what the new release date is, but I'm hoping it is in time for summer writers' conferences and book fairs.

Bleeder is available in a Kindle edition and I'm hoping Viper will be as well.

I've begun the third book in this series with a working title of Specter. Yeah - ghosts. Or ARE they?
