END OF BOOK STUFF

Back before I started writing, when I actually had free time, I had a season ticket to Thorpe Park, which is a big amusement park in the south of England. I don’t live too far away from there, so I could shoot over in the summer evenings when they were open late and miss all the crowds.

One of my favourite rides was an indoor rollercoaster called X:/No Way Out, set in a giant black pyramid. You rode backwards in the dark. Even the queue was fun, winding through a series of computer-virus-themed rooms with lights and lasers and all that shizzle.

And then there was Vortex, a giant rotating pendulum that strapped you in so tight you could hardly move before whirling you in circles.

Thorpe Park also had a little farm back then. You rode there on a train or a boat, and you could feed the animals and whatnot. Sadly, the farm is long gone and X has been overhauled and turned into a Walking Dead ride (an idea for another book, perhaps?). Vortex is still going, though :)

Anyhow, I thought I’d take a trip down memory lane and mash the whole lot together, and that turned into Sphere. At first, it was going to be a straight hostage situation, but then I figured it would be a lot more fun to turn the bad guys into the good guys and the good guys into the bad guys and give Emmy a nice little moral dilemma too. I hope you enjoyed the ride.

Next up is Alaric’s story. The reason it’s taken so long for another book in the Blackwood Security series to come out is because one book turned into three books with interlinked storylines, kind of like the original Black trilogy. Which meant I wanted to write them all before I published the first so I could avoid any continuity-related fuck-ups. Plus they’re really long, lol. So, what does that mean? It means that The Girl with the Emerald Ring will be out at the end of August, and Blackwood Security books thirteen and fourteen (Red After Dark and When the Shadows Fall) are already written to follow on after that. They just need editing. And while that’s happening, I’m writing the fifth instalment of the Electi series ready for next year!

As always, I couldn’t have published this book without help from my awesome team. Huge thanks to Jeff, Renata, Terri, Musi, David, Stacia, Jessica, Nikita, Quenby, Jody, and Sandra for beta reading; Nikki for editing; and John, Debi, and Lizbeth for proof reading :)

And also thank you to you, the reader, for your support!
