Right now the to-do list is loud. Fulfill a 660%-funded Kickstarter. Edit other writers’ books. Run a publishing company. Market existing titles. Keep upcoming releases on track. And somewhere in there is a quiet little line that says: Write the next book.

That line is always the easiest to slide.

Because it doesn’t yell. It doesn’t send invoices. It doesn’t have shipping deadlines. It just waits — patiently — while everything else feels urgent.

Thomas Billings is back.
Well… almost.

Mark filed a no-spoiler update on Fall From Grace, the second Thomas Billings thriller, and it contains precisely zero useful intel — which is exactly the point.

Thomas is stubborn, Grace is complicated, and someone (possibly several someones) is making catastrophically poor choices.

In other words: the thriller is doing what thrillers do best.
And Mark will start spilling details only when the finish line is in sight.

Until then… someone, somewhere, is about to regret something deeply.
