Ask Stella – Kay Levine

Hey Stella! Inquiring minds want to know when your next book is coming out. And maybe a title. Getting anxious.

Thanks – Kay Levine at Bent Pages Bookstore

Hi Kay – 

It is great to hear from you! Thanks so much for asking about my next release. 

I’m happy to report that I’m currently working on my next Black Raven novel, which is titled Insertion. The story in Insertion picks up a couple of months after the conclusion of the Black Raven job in Imagine, my most recent release. In Insertion, I’m continuing the story for Ace and Leo, the two Black Raven agents who were the main characters in Imagine.

At the end of Imagine, I indicated that Insertion would be released in 2019. Sadly, that isn’t going to happen. I talk a bit about the changes I’ve experienced this year in this blog post, in case anyone wants more details about the delay in my publication schedule. I’m currently hopeful that Insertion will be ready for publication sooner in 2020 rather than later, but I can’t give a firm date right now. My apologies if the delay is disappointing to you or to any of the fantastic readers at Bent Pages.   

Believe me, the minute I know the publication date for Insertion, I’ll post it on my website, Facebook, and Instagram. I hope to make it to Bent Pages soon so that I can shop for great books and say hello in person to you and everyone there. In the meantime, have a great holiday season. 

Thank you again for reaching out to me. 

With love,
