I've been hard at work on The Final Hour, and I'm nearly half way finished with the first draft. (Which is awesome of course). But that hasn't been my only focus. I've also been working on The Kingmaker, and as you can see if you've been on my website lately, it went from being a series to a standalone. I felt it would be better as a standalone, but it's going to be LONG, but worth it though.
Right now, the release is scheduled for March of 2015, and that's still the case, but it will definitely be worth the wait.
Updates on the rest of the Volkov Bratva Series.
Luka and Alex's story will definitely be next, though I'm still trying to work out the kinks of their relationship in my head, trying to transfer those ideas to paper. Luka is one of my favorite characters, but his crazy comes with baggage and I'm almost afraid to delve into that.
Klaus and Reagan's story will be after Luka's. I've mentioned previously that I would be including The Last Volkov in his book, and that's still the case. That means, the first part of the book will be The Last Volkov--since it tells Klaus' background. Right now, his book may be the longest in the entire series since I want him to be understood. Like that saying, 'to understand who I am, you have to know where I've been.'
Both of those are set to release in late fall, and will more than likely be back to back. October/November. Something like that. Of course I'll provide more details once the releases are closer.
If you ever have any questions, feel free to drop a comment, or send me a message on my author page.
Cheers!

The Kingmaker
Last night I started on the first book in The Kingmaker series. (This does not affect The Final Hour at all. I'm still hard at work on that).
I had no intention of even touching the series until after I was completely done with the Volkov Bratva Series, but as I was trying to force myself to keep writing on The Final Hour, I realized that if I wanted to keep with the original image I had for the book, I needed to take a step back and give myself a break from it.
Since April 1st of last year, Mishca and Lauren's world have been all I've worked on. I've spent countless hours doing research on the inner workings of the Vory v Zakone, figuring out who my characters were, and pretty much plotted out every single detail that needed to be added into the books. Now, I kind of just need a break.
It won't be for long, maybe for a few days tops since I can never leave M&L alone for too long.
Anyway...
The Kingmaker.
I've had the idea for this storyline for a while now, and I'm definitely excited to see where this goes. I don't want to reveal too much, only that the characters names are Uilleam (pronounced you'll--lee-em) and Karina. It's set in Chicago, one of the largest organized crime capitals in the world.
Should be fun, right?
Currently, I have three planned, you can see the titles here, and I guess you could say they end in a cliffhanger. (Sorry, I know how some people hate those). But I think it's entirely worth it. I always do

If you want, you can add The Kingmaker to you TBR shelf on goodreads here.

Expectations.
To kick off my first post, I wanted to first sit down and have a little chat. If you have been following the Volkov Bratva series with me, you will notice that I have been making many changes to it through out. It went from being two books, to three, from three to five with the last two being stand-alones.
I know that many readers are not big fans of cliffhangers and some of them find them unnecessary. While they are fully entitled to that opinion, I believed that it was important to write the stories the way I saw them, not because I was trying to prolong the story lines, but because if I would have tried to consolidate everything that needed to happen for Mishca and Lauren to be together in one book, I would have either made it a hell of a long book, or cut corners. I wanted to do neither, so...three books. Now book three, The Final Hour, is going to be long, and I do mean long. Everyone that has ever played a part in this series are going to have their moments and their actions and purposes will be revealed.
It's going to be one hell of a ride and I really hope you're ready for what they have planned for you. Because of the work it's going to take to finish up The Final Hour, I have decided not to publish Bleeding Stars which is Mishca's novella.
DON'T FRET!
Once it is complete, I will actually be offering it here on my website as a free read as a thank you to all of my readers.
The Last Volkov, however, will be in (Red.) which is Klaus' story. If you haven't read Until the End, I know you're probably wondering who the hell that is. Sorry, I won't be telling you on here. Just know that you would probably want to read to find out.
That brings me to my next point. After The Final Hour, the last two books of the Volkov Series will be next.
The Gilded Room: Luka's Story.
Red.: Klaus' Story.
I'm not sure who is coming first, since both stories happen around the same time, but of course I'll be letting you know when the dates are closer.
So what comes after the Volkov Bratva Series?
The Kingmaker Series which is going to be an absolute blast. I don't want to reveal to much, but the Hero is older than Mishca though not by much. The tentative release date for the first novel in the series is March 25, 2015, mind you the date is tentative, so it could very well be before then.
Another series?
Yep, another series. For some reason, I think of long drawn out plots that cannot take place in just one book. (My cross to bear). But, mind you, they are all stand-alones. As of now, I have three books planned, no cliffhangers though they do deal with the same main characters in both.
Alright, that's all I can tell you about that for now.
On to the best part of this post.
When the hell will The Final Hour be out?
May 25th.
You can quote me on that. You can email me, write on my fb wall or goodreads wall to make sure I'm writing daily to ensure that it's here on time. Trust me, I learned my lesson with Until the End.
THE FINAL HOUR RELEASES ON MAY 25, 2014.
BE READY.
