Author Notes

image

When I started writing The Tipping Point, I had no idea that there would be a second, let alone a third novel, in the series... but here we are! I’m already well underway on Hunter’s Gambit (book four in the series) and have plans for book five. When will the series end? Right now, I have no idea. Long as the ideas are fresh and the inspiration is there, I will keep writing!

What is real and not real within Course of Action? It’s true that President Truman created a taskforce to deal with UFO rumors, and a leaked document in the early 70’s gave them a name—MJ-12 (Magic 12). However, any Air Force investigation into MJ-12 couldn’t prove it was valid. Of course, the government was doing the investigation.... Once I heard that story, I wondered what would have happened (if they were real) that they didn’t willingly give up whatever powers they had. That gave formation in my mind, to the shadow government or ‘deep state’ and premise for the novel.

Regardless, I hope you enjoyed it! Hunter’s Gambit (book four) is underway and if you are interested in an ARC, there is an email address within the pages of Course of Action. Write to the email address and you will be entered into the contest!

If you could also take a moment and leave a rating/review for this novel, it would be appreciated. I enjoy reading the comments. Your kind words and encouragement motivate me to continue writing!
