The text of the International Criminal Conspiracy is finished, weighing in at 147,ooo words, although I’ll keep revising until I’m forced to abandon it to the printer.

The final step is the book cover. For that I’m working with an artist from 100covers.com, and hope to see the first draft soon.

With luck, everything will come together by the beginning of September.

I’ll put it up on Amazon as soon as it’s ready, but I hope to debut it at Capclave (www.capclave.org) September 19-21.

The ICC (for short) is an ensemble adventure featuring all the characters from The Lynx and Road Kill.  Secrets will be revealed and lives will be changed forever … hopefully for the better. There’s snark, sarcasm, and snide commentary, and that’s just from Hyperion.  Chris and Emily are trying to settle into normal lives at their new jobs in Boston and basically survive long enough to get married.  Meagan has a new and mysterious client she can’t tell anyone about, including Hyperion. And Kaylee Tranter, seventeen years old and an expert on life, officially joins the team on a thrilling (or so I fervently hope) adventure.

So, if you enjoyed the Lynx and Road Kill, I hope you’ll enjoy returning to the geeky, irreverent universe with The International Criminal Conspiracy.

P.S. Slayer of Rats and Other Stories (Volume 4) is well underway, hopefully releasing in 2026.
