Update on Heller's Punishment

Okay, there're only five hours left of February for me and it's become painfully apparent that I will not be able to publish Heller's Punishment today. Even if I did an all-nighter, which I can't because I have to work tomorrow, I still wouldn't make it. I set myself a stretch target of one month to get the book out, and as Maxwell Smart would say, "Missed it by that much." I might have made it if February had 31 days. I might have made it if I didn't have to work, sleep, cook, eat, wash, shop, ferry the child around, hold civilised interactions with the significant others in my life, etc etc. Real life is relentlessly demanding!


I need a few more days to do the cover and final proofread, but expect to have it available at Smashwords in time for the weekend. My apologies for anyone waiting for it. Your patience is appreciated.

Synopsis for Heller's Punishment

Synopsis for Heller's Punishment:


Book 4 of the Heller series. In this adventure, rookie security officer Tilly Chalmers has three new assignments to cope with - chaperoning a devious addict to a rehabilitation clinic; live-in security for an isolated religious cult; and protecting a national TV host in a damaging court case. On top of all of this, she must also somehow manage her growing feelings for her boss Heller, and decide on what to do about her love-rat ex-boyfriend’s demands to rekindle their relationship.
