Hello, my friends,
I am just dropping a quick note for those of you waiting patiently for ABANDONED Book 4: Deception and Deliverance. It seems the characters had a mind of their own and added on a few extra chapters near the end of the story. It is all good stuff, of course, and after all, who doesn’t want more excitement in their life?
The good news: the novel is now complete and the editing is now well underway. However, this means that Book 4’s release will be a little later than the end of March as I was planning. At this point, I will not go into the Almaden Wine analogy again, since those of you who’ve been with me for a while know what I am talking about. But as they say, ‘All good things…”
Book 4 should be in your hands by the end of April, mid-May at the latest. So it’s not super bad news, just a delay, which, unfortunately, seems to be the way of the world right now. That being said, I apologise for adding to the list of things for which you are waiting. Trust me, I know the pain of looking forward to a new novel from a favourite author, only to be told it’s been delayed. But rest assured I will let you know the moment I have the actual release date nailed down.
For those of you wanting to get into the ABANDONED series, Book 1 is currently available for only .99 cents! If you haven’t gotten into this exciting series yet, now would be a great time with the fourth and final book on its way. Here’s a link to that on the website where you can click through to the deal if you wish: https://katieberry.ca/free-preview-of-abandoned-a-lively-deadmarsh-novel/ or click the graphic to the right.
And in other deal news, the novelette, CLAW Emergence – Caleb Cantrill is FREE to download on Amazon for the next few days. This is the introductory tale in that series. The first of this new full-length, three novel series will be out later this summer. Here’s the link for the free Caleb novelette on Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3ir2WnV or click on the graphic to the left.

There will be a full cover reveal of ABANDONED Book 4 in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned to your inbox for that. In the meantime, I will give you a teaser of Deception and Deliverance’s cover with all of the good bits blurred out in order to protect the identity of the novel until its big unveiling day.
I’ll be back at the beginning of April with another draw announcement for our monthly Katie Berry Books Insider audiobook and paperback winners.
Thank you so much for reading this little note, and I hope that whatever you’re currently reading is filled with thrills and chills and everything else that you (and I) enjoy.
Good health and great reads,
-Katie Berry
