Q: As your readers dive into your captivating series, many are eager to know what's next. How many books are planned for the entire series, and how frequently can we expect new releases?

Q: What has influenced your decision on the timing of each release?

A: “Currently, there are eight books in the Dimase Augustin series, and two additional unrelated thriller-genre books that will follow immediately after the Dimase rollout is completed. We intend to release one new book every twenty-eight days in order to build anticipation and readership. The initial reaction has been very positive, and I’m extremely grateful for all the enthusiasm and support.

The character of Dimase evolves over the course of the eight books, and it is my hope that readers will join Dimase on the journey as he rises from local homicide detective to an “off-the-books” government contractor operating on the international stage.

Along the way, Dimase encounters new challenges, engages old foes, and acquires a mutual but elusive love interest. I believe that fans of serial characters such as Jack Reacher (Lee Child), Mitch Rapp (Vince Flynn), Alex Cross (James Patterson), and the like, will enjoy getting to know Dimase with his various foibles and eccentricities. Innately intelligent, loyal, and driven to seek truth and justice, Dimase is willing to occasionally bend the rules in order to achieve his version of same.

As the series concludes, fans will come to appreciate Dimase’s ability to think outside the box. He often sees things in a way that others do not, a trait that allows him to solve the seemingly unsolvable. It is important to me as an author that plot twists are plausible, reality based, and yet will surprise and engage readers. The best stories compel fans to puzzle-out each enigma as they arise, working alongside an interesting, complex protagonist to resolve the obstacles placed before them. It is my hope that the Dimase Augustin series will rise to that.”
