Sorry I’m so late to answer this - and thanks for your concern :). Things are better and I’m very happy to be back writing. Probably the best place is my website and Facebook and Instagram. Those seem to be where I hang most consistently:). As of now my updated schedule for 2019 is on my website!
S.E. Jakes
Yes - Dirty Lies comes out 7/15/19 and Dirty Love comes out 11/11/19 :)

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patience!!! Means the world to me and I’m really happy to be back on a regular publishing schedule. And yes, the audiobook version is in production as we speak, so maybe another month or so?
S.E. Jakes
Yes - it’s coming out April 29, 2019 :):):). And I love hearing that you love my writing :):):):)
S.E. Jakes
Soon. Very. I’m not giving a firm date until I hand it into my publisher but I have a deadline and I will let eveyone know when it’s been handed in. From that point on, it’s all about publisher scheduling and edits but I have a feeling they won’t make you wait long. Sorry for the long wait - I wanted to finish it much sooner but I just wasn’t able to. Trust me - I’m more upset about that than anyone.
S.E. Jakes
I am now :) Thanks for being so sweet! I had to step away for a bit but I’m gearing up now to finish all the unfinished books under both Jakes and Tyler.

You see More of Mal and Cillian in Daylight Again...and in If I Ever (publishing soon)...and then I’ll be working on DD2. I’ve been away from writing for a bit so I got behind schedule.

Running Blind (Havoc 2) releases 9/24/18...so very soon :). I’ll post info on it within the next couple of weeks (preorder / blurb / cover etc)
S.E. Jakes
Yes! Running Blind (Havoc 2) is releasing 9/24/18. I’ll post links as soon as it’s avaiable for preorder :). Havoc 3 will be late next year, after If I Ever and Dirty Deeds 2.
S.E. Jakes
Thanks :). It's nice to be back :). I'm sorry for the suffering - Prophet understands your pain! Hoping to hand in If I Ever end of October :):):)
S.E. Jakes
I didn't stop - I had a two year unexpected hiatus due to deaths / illnesses in my family. I'm finishing Havoc 2 now and Prophet's last book as well. More on this when I hand it into my editor :)
S.E. Jakes
Nope! Running Blind is just about ready to head to my editor and then I'll know more about a release date. It's Sweet and Bram's book! (Bram is Sweet's brother :)
S.E. Jakes
Yep, they are! You'll find mention of Prophet series characters in Havoc, for example. And Prophet is mentioned in the Bound series. Also the SE Jakes books are also set in my Stephanie Tyler books (so Havoc MC plays with Vipers.)

Finish the book. Until you finish a book, you don't know if you actually can, and that's so much more important than anything else. Finish it any way you can. For instance, until I realized that I didn't have to write in order, I'd never finished anything. There are no rules. Write the end first, or the middle first or bounce around. Because all those craft books and articles are great, but they won't really click for you until you can apply them to your own finished piece of work. I see too many authors polishing and repolishing the same 3 chapters for contests. The first three chapters are easy. FINISH THE BOOK!
S.E. Jakes
Yes! After the Dirty Deeds series, I have plans for another Blue and Mick book. Also, a book for Doc...:)
S.E. Jakes
OMG, I love you! Seriously, thank you :) I think you are completely awesome as well! As does Tommy...
S.E. Jakes
Yes! While I wrote that book, and Free Falling, it became apparent that Prophet would not shut up until he had his own book. I had visions of him showing up and taking over every other book I wrote until I finally broke down and gave him his own series :)
S.E. Jakes
Yes, definitely! I'm hoping for November 11th :) The bundle we put together was always going to be for a short time and all the proceeds from that bundle with go to a military charity, Hope For The Warrior. When Hold The Line comes out as a stand-alone, all proceeds from that book will continue to go to that same charity :)

I have a terrible memory, which is why I have a spreadsheet of things like this :):) Prophet and Tom's home base is in Catskills, NY, which is where EE Ltd. is also located. There is also a satellite EE office in Djibouti (Africa).
Cillian has an apartment in Prophet's building, but of course, as a spy, Cillian's rarely in one place for very long (and same with Prophet). Mal is originally from Boston, but since the SEAL mission gone wrong, Mal, King, Ren and Hook are wanted men, and rarely set foot on US soil for very long. They move around places, living and working all over the world while they search for John Morse.
Hope that helps!

Here's a listing of the Bound Books in order:

Hope that helps! :)
