Yes, I'm working on book 3 now. It's called Petra Rising.
Unfortunately, it's going much more slowly than I would like, so it won't be out for a while yet. I apologize for the delay.
Thanks for picking up Petra Released. Hope you enjoy it!

Petra Rising, the third book in my Prison World Revolt series.

Never give up. I mean, NEVER give up. Persist, even when it's no longer reasonable to do so. Never give up.

Funny, you're the second person to ask me that in as many days.
Honestly, I've been so focused on getting Petra Released out that I haven't been able to think much about anything else. And now I need to get back to work on Petra Rising. So any short story collection will probably be a bit further down the road.
That said, if any publisher expressed an interest in a book of my short work, I would jump on the opportunity.
Thanks for asking!

Well, I definitely had a reason for that name, but I never explain it in the book. That was deliberate. I thought it would be fun to leave it as a kind of Easter egg for readers to discover on their own. (Not that it's anything brilliant or earth-shattering, mind you. Like I said, I just thought it would be fun.)
You might have guessed it already, but if not--let's just say that you'll find a clue if you check the etymology of the word. :-)
Hope that's not too cryptic.
