I’m\u00c2\u00a0almost<\/em> done with\u00c2\u00a0The Haunting of Renegade X<\/em><\/a>, the novella that takes place between books 2 and 3. I’ve only got a couple more scenes to write, and with my\u00c2\u00a0recent health improvements, I can actually write steadily every day. Which means this story\u00c2\u00a0will actually be out in a few days. It should also mean fewer delays between books. Oh, and that I can function and feel like a real person. Whatever.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s what it’s all about:<\/p>\n

Damien doesn’t believe in ghosts, even when he hears the voice of his ex-best friend Pete calling to him from the Banking and Finances building, the scene of his death. His new friend Riley doesn’t believe in ghosts, either, but when Damien confides in him about what he thinks he heard, the two of them decide to investigate. On Halloween night.<\/span>

A decision they come to regret as soon as Pete’s ghost traps them inside the building. It turns out Pete’s got unfinished business with Damien concerning the collapse of their friendship. Damien’s always blamed Pete for how it ended, but now Pete forces him to acknowledge the part he played in it. In order to survive the night, Damien will not only have to figure out how to fight a ghost, but he’ll have to tell the truth about his past–even when that truth threatens to destroy his new friendship with Riley.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This story started out as part of the kickstarter for book 3. For one of the stretch goals, I said I’d write a short story holiday special. Backers got to vote on which holiday the story would be about, and the votes were overwhelmingly for Halloween. When I started thinking about what this story would even be, I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I was picturing something short and light. Maybe 5k – 10k. So of course it turned into a super intense 20k novella.<\/p>\n

I’m planning to release it both in\u00c2\u00a0ebook formats and in paperback, and hopefully there’ll be an\u00c2\u00a0audio version at some point.<\/p>\n
