Patience is ever rewarded, or so they say, and your patience is on the verge of receiving a bumper crop of female spy action. Why is this? Well, the copy edits have just come through. Let's just say they're on the minor side of little. Which means that we'll be typesetting and proofing before you know it ...

I must say that I'm very impressed by the Unbound process, as thus far it's been pretty painless. Hopefully that will translate itself into a smooth and delightful read.

It also means, of course, that the opportunity to get your name in the book will soon vanish, so if you haven't already done so ... tell your friends, the milkman, the secret service operatives bugging your phone, Alexa ... tell everyone to pledge their support. 

Thank you all, both past and future patrons and supporters of other hues.
