Well, almost….
My third novel in the Kendrick Chronicles series, Babylon Slide, has been in the hands of some eagle-eyed and constructively critical beta readers. It gets one more read through before shipping out for, hopefully, an audiobook treatment, maybe an e-book, too. And, who knows, it may see print…we’ll see.
