Cover Reveal for “An Uncalculated Risk,” book 3 of “The Cain Series,” Launch Date May 2025.

Here is the cover art for An Uncalculated Risk, book 3 of The Cain Series, which is due out this May, 2025.

The covers just keep getting better in The Cain Series.  This is the sort of cover I grew up seeing in bookstores, on the sci-fi, fantasy, and crime novels I usually perused (didn’t always have the funds to buy, it’s true, but you’d be surprised how much reading you could get done before they chucked you out).  They’re like little movie posters.  So often, these days, I see very basic, kind of drab, covers: a symbol, maybe, some design or other to break up the background color, and then your standard, readable font for the title.  One of the joys of being an indie novelist is that I don’t have to settle for the safe, boring covers that the big 4’s marketing bros would demand.  I get the good stuff.

Anyway, An Uncalculated Risk is due out in May, while book 4 is still on track for publication later this year.  A two-for, for 2025. See you in the stacks.
