Out Now: Masterson #11 Brandt/Meyra!

Well…it’s been insanely busy around here, like it almost always is. Hubs started a new job, working 1-10 five days a week. Kid made a travel softball team ninety minutes from home. She started school again. (Homeschooling high school while working is very, very hard!) I’ve been doing a lot of driving lately!

We tried to go camping as much as we could this month before he started his job, so that we could use the RV and spend some time together. We tried to arrange it around her softball schedule. I’ve been without internet more than I have had it these past two months.

Which…has been great for my productivity. While kid is practicing throwing the ball at sixty miles per hour, I have been typing away. In the last six weeks I have finished two Masterson novels.

Meyra and Brandt’s book was uploaded this morning. I’m waiting on Apple, Barnes and Noble, and Google Play to go live—but Amazon, Kobo, and Smashwords are already available!

I sent Dylan’s book to the editor a few nights ago. I did not anticipate writing Dylan’s book this year. She was on the schedule for 2026, but she popped up in Meyra’s book and demanded I tell her story.

And well…Fletcher was right there and she knew he wasn’t really meant to be her hero, so she bet him she couldn’t work as his housekeeper for six months…

And everyone knows about Tylers and their housekeepers, right?

At this point, Dylan’s book will most likely release on October 27, 2024. (No preorder on this one, either. Timing is too tight getting it back from the editor since it was a surprise!)

Dylan’s book starts only 2 days after Meyra’s ends. (Meyra’s book takes place during Powell’s book in the Finley Creek series The Secret She Keeps, in case you missed that one). Events in Meyra’s book parallel events in Powell’s (Powell and Brandt are twins, after all!). It was challenging and really fun to write three books set so close together that weren’t part of a miniseries.

A lot is going on in this “timeframe” in the Calle-bookverse.

Powell’s book, Meyra’s book, Dylan’s book, and a few others that are upcoming—all take place in a few months’ time.

Now it’s time to move on to Madison’s book (now that Daniel and Gunnar and Heather have had time to recuperate from what I did to them in Powell’s book! I did not know I was going to do what I did to them!)

There may be a few more releases by the time Madison’s book is ready, though. I’m not sure yet—I have some things in the works. It really just depends on the time needed to finish everything the way I want. I never can really predict how long a book will take. Sometimes, like with Dylan’s book, other titles will jump in the line. Or will end up 20,000 words (approximately 100 pages) longer than I expected (once again…Dylan.). That is what makes it so exciting for me. I never know what will happen in a book until I have written it.

I do know that there are a few things PAVAD in the works. 😉 And a few other things that I will be giving more info about next month. (I need time to sit down and actually plan, lol!)

Right now here is what the list of upcoming books looks like: (this is very tentative, and dates haven’t been set, and everything depends on just how quickly each book is written, etc.) PAVADS, Finleys, and Small-Town Sheriffs are very complex, and very draining to write, so they can take a while to get the way I want them. I may also release other things in between, since I am constantly working on multiple projects.
