I’m afraid I have some disappointing news.
I’ve decided to cancel Lust, Money & Murder 19, which has been on preorder for a couple of months. For those of you who placed a preorder and were looking forward to the next chapter, my apologies. Since the platforms don't charge you until release day, no money has changed hands and your preorder will simply be cancelled by the retailer.
This has been an agonizing decision to make, but the grim reality is this: while my books once sold well enough to justify the immense time and energy it takes to write them, but the landscape has shifted dramatically. The market is currently being flooded by an onslaught of AI-generated books, burying human storytellers under a mountain of digital noise.
This is not a battle I can win.
For me, writing high-quality fiction has crossed the line from what could once make a decent but modest living into an expensive hobby. At this point in my life, with two elementary school-aged children and demanding consulting projects that actually pay the bills, I simply cannot afford an expensive hobby.
I hope that one day, when the market stabilizes and more readers value true craftsmanship again, I’ll be able to return to the Lust, Money & Murder series.
Until then, thank you for all the years of incredible support. Take care, and keep reading real stories!
Bye for now,
Mike
