As I write
this, the fourth Knight Agency novel, “A Plague of Rogues,” has been submitted
to Amazon and several other platforms and will be released on all of them
within, probably, a week (Amazon probably tomorrow, but some of the platforms I reach through Draft 2 Digital take their time).
“Just think
about what you could do to him … that should keep you entertained.”
A little
favour for Sir Abraham Mortimer, head of the Board of Associates Jane is
sitting on for the Knight Agency, turns into a large-scale adventure
introducing the Uncle and the Niece. For a change, Jane needs to rely on her
more discreet skills such as seduction and acting to find out what is
happening. Also included are: a spectral monk haunting the grounds of an old
manor house, kidnappings, daring deeds, a budding love affair, and, of course,
a plague of rogues.
I was going
to release this novel last year in November, but real life intervened and I
decided to just miss one of my planned release dates and release it on schedule
in February instead. I doubt I have that many fans who were direly missing the
novel, but I’m not giving up hope. Jane’s stories are good and sooner or later,
people will realize that.
Writing-wise,
I’m into the second novel of the Black Knight Agency series (the first one will
be my next release) and have penned the basics for another story which I will
write afterwards and which might become a third series. That one will not
include Jane, but I’m sure Inez and Tom will be just as much fun to write. I
will get to write lots of heists for that one.
Two more Knight Agency novels are done, “From Past to Future” and “Death
Dealer.” They will also be released this year, real-life interventions pending.
