Hey guys its Jessica. Sorry I’ve been MIA for so long. I apologize for the long overdue wait for Janet’s next book. You’ve all been very patient and loyal fans that she loves. She has been working on this book over the last year and a half while dealing with her battle with cancer. It saddens me to say that she peacefully lost this battle this past weekend while her family was by her side. I apologize if this feels sudden, she was a very private person even to her family. And she truly thought of all of you as her family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Nelson K. Foley
Nelson K. Foley is in fact my real name, but among family, friends and acquaintances I am better known as Keith Foley.

What is also interesting is that my name honours a family naval lineage that goes back several generations of 'Nelson' and 'Nelson Trafalgar'. It also sounds better as an author name!
