What happened to the Russian engagement series?

Greetings Everyone!

After a long hiatus away from writing and being out of touch with readers, I figured I was LONG overdue for giving some sort of update, less folks begin to think I dropped off the face of the earth permanently (ha-ha).

Well, I am happy to announce that I have not been as dormant as it might've seemed. In fact, over the last year or two, I have been hard at work with edits for the Russian Engagement Series, which has improved the stories immensely, as well as satisfied the need of the perfectionist in me, by putting out my best work possible. It was amazing to see my overall growth as a writer from the time I initially began writing Wreckless Engagement in 2016, until now!

What possessed me to do such a thing, you might be wondering? Well, I was inspired to tackle the editing projects after reading an article about how some of my all-time favorite authors such as James Patterson, Mary Balogh, Judith McNaught, and many more, had actually gone back to edit some of their earlier published books, as well. It was a real confidence booster, let me tell you, to know that even some of the greats didn't start out as the phenomenal writers that they later became! Lol. There is always room for improvement. Now, the essence of the stories did not change, and are overall the original stories. I did, however, delete some parts, and added to others. I believe readers who read the originals, will be overall pleased with the edits. For anyone who purchased the original books, and are interested in reading the revised versions, I will be offering a copy of the 2nd Edition versions for free.

Moving on to other news! I am happy to announce that I have also spent part of my hiatus working on several new stories that I will be excited to bring full circle in 2026 and 2027. I will begin to share some of these works in progress with my readers beginning in July 2026.

In the meantime, The Russian Engagement Series should be back up for sale by the end of June. A definitive date will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. Yay!

I look forward to catching up with my readers and engaging full-scale again.
