New Status Update Q&A

This will be a straight to the point post: (1) I’m recovering from surgery, which kept me on the sidelines a few days, and (2) I've completed major changes to NO MERCY. So, this is where my main focus is since I lost a few days and have to get back on track. Recovering, laying around the house in pain, right now. I still can't do heaving lifting and cannot exercise for the next 7 days.

Meanwhile, I’m getting a lot of questions about the status of NO MERCY, pre-orders and the newsletter, so I figured I'd do a

Q&A to get everyone updated.

When will you send out the next newsletter?

We are close to release date of NO MERCY, we expect to have the next newsletter out May 31st.

I subscribed to your Mailing List. How do I get the excerpts to NO MERCY?

They're on my website: Here's the link:

I'm a subscriber to your Mailing List, but I stopped getting the newsletter. What happened?

A lot of people previously signed up for the newsletter a while ago, but were purged because of our sites compliance requirements. If we send the newsletter to your email address and you don't take action; such as: (open the email) after 60 days the site stops sending the newsletter to your address.

Additionally: The newsletter might have been caught by your Spam filter. A lot of my readers are finding it there.

I'm not on your Mailing List, but if I sign up now, will I still get updates on the Release Date and when Pre-Orders begin for NO MERCY?

YES...most definitely! Here's the link to sign up: https://carlalanpublishing.com/mailing-list

I’ll notify newsletter/mailing list subscribers about the upcoming Release Date and when Pre-Orders will begin! We won't do a newsletter every month. I'll do them quarterly, and they'll related to appearances, new releases, special contest, sales or updates about our new Online Shop, so don't worry about me sending daily/weekly emails to inbox.

I don't want to sigh up for the newsletter, but I want to stay informed/up-to-date. How do I get that info?

I’m releasing it on my blog. So, all you have to do is wait for the new blog and the link will be there.

I haven't read any of the excerpts or the synopsis. I keep hearing about them. So, where are they?

New Character Art!!!

Hi Guys! This is Fred T. Johnson one of the real-life characters in The Encounter Series. This awesome character sketch was created by our graphic design artist, Maulana Faris!

Oooooh Yes! And you can read all about Reggie's exploits in the upcoming sequel to TWISTED, Titled - NO MERCY.

It was a wonderful experience to work with Maulana, who brought our characters alive in graphic form - like this sketch of Freddy "T". As with all of our Artists, we send them detailed descriptions of the characters and they create graphic versions of them! Fred T. Johnson is confident, untrustworthy and extremely ambitious. We can't wait for you to meet him, and the rest of the "cast" of characters in NO MERCY.

Exclusive Cover Reveal!!!

IT'S COVER REVEAL TIME!

I'm super excited to reveal the cover for my brand new mystery/suspense thriller NO MERCY! This is the sequel to TWISTED and I'm totally excited for you all to read it!

There’s no use in looking over your shoulder…

Tyrone Street and The Blue Lady, Stella Vaughn are back! One year has passed. Yet, one problem still plagues them…General Benson and FBI agents Smalls and Stone have kept their promise.

TO GET EVEN!

Street continues to be a target and the feds are plotting to kill everyone on his team.

There’s nowhere to run, no one to trust…

Carl Alan Smith continues his strange and chilling series as Street and Stella hook up with Jerome Gantt and Carrillo El Duque Sanchez in a deadly high-stakes pursuit of serial killers on the loose throughout the country. Bodies riddled with bullets are being found drained of their blood supply. Yet, there is no evidence of collateral damage or shell casings at the murder scene. Their investigation leads them on a cross-country chase where they discover the killers have connections to a sadistic futuristic killer that has ties to local law enforcement and government agencies.

They’re everywhere…

In his latest novel in the Encounter Series, Carl Alan Smith captivates readers again with gut-wrenching, chilling, twist and cutting-edge suspense with true-to-life characters so real they leap right off the page.

They can’t be

stopped, hard to kill…
