Major News About Book Two - NO MERCY!

Taking a break from working on the manuscript for Book Two, NO MERCY, to give everyone an update. In September, we approved the final cover for Book Two in the Encounter Series by our amazing cover artist — Erskine Leonard. The title is NO MERCY.

I couldn’t be more thrilled! And when all the text is in place, I’ll post the final excerpt leading up to publishing day. I was hoping to release NO MERCY in late summer. Now, it might be some time in the fall of 2020.

I’m back in stride, now, and my writing/editing is up to full speed. My goal is to have the NO MERCY finished and edited by November. The book is shaping up well, and I think you’ll really enjoy it. There will be an eBook that will follow after we publish NO MERCY. When I have a release date for the eBook, I’ll let you know.

On a different note, we have the title of Book Three already selected. It will be called, The Teflon Man. This will be an exclusive look inside the world of the main character - Tyrone Street. And speaking of Tyrone Street, those of you who bought and read TWISTED will notice that he plays an integral role in that book. He returns in Book Two NO MERCY along with new and more challenging characters!

I’m not going to give anything away, but you’re gonna love it! And for those of you who haven’t read TWISTED, don’t let the awesome cover fool you. The story telling will astound you to the point where you won't want to put either book down. As soon as I have a release date for NO MERCY, I’ll post it on my blog, and my social media accounts, and send out a newsletter.

Gotta get back on the block. Take care, mask up & stay safe!

New from the Encounter Series!!!

This is Strategic Operations Force (SOF) Director, Stephanie Taylor, one of the heroines in NO MERCY, Book Two of The Encounter Series!

This awesome character sketch was created by our graphic Novel Artist, Draez Johnson. Book Two NO MERCY is in the draft stage with a release date of later this year. Some of your favorite characters from TWISTED return in NO MERCY along with a new cast of characters which means you’ll see new and amazing art designs! Additionally, character illustrations will be included in the book! Oooooh!

It was a wonderful experience to work with all of our Novel Designers, who brought our characters alive in graphic form - like this sketch of SOF Director, Stephanie Taylor. DJ did an amazing job creating version of Stephanie Taylor. She is beautiful, vicious and built for trouble. We can't wait for you to meet her, and the rest of the "cast" of characters.

If you'd like a sneak preview of NO MERCY, I just posted an excerpt! The book comes out later this summer. https://www.carlalanpublishing.com/book-excerpts
