    Question: How do I read the bonus chapters for Only Good Enemies?

    Only Good Enemies 3D cover in a pink background with information about the book tropesAnswer: At the end of the Only Good Enemies ebooks, there is a link to sign up for my newsletter for folks who want to read two bonus chapters from Zane Zimmerā€™s point of view.

    In case you missed it, click here to go to the signup link.Ā 

    After you sign up for my newsletter, you will get an email that will take you to the Zane bonus chapters. If you don’t get the email, please let me know.

    For the folks who got the audiobook, you can listen to the bonus chapters at the end of the Only Good Enemies audiobook.

    I had originally included Zaneā€™s bonus chapters in Only Good Enemies, but then I thought it would be better to take them out and just have Zane reveal his true actions in the epilogue. But I enjoyed writing the chapters, and I thought they would be a fun extra for readers so I still wanted to share them.

    If enough folks like the bonus chapters, I might do them again for future books if I have any extra material. In the meantime, I hope that everyone is enjoying Vesper and Kyrionā€™s latest adventure. Thanks for reading!

    My other mission? Find a way to assassinate Lord Callus Holloway, the Imperium ruler who wants to take my psion power for his own. Holloway is also a threat to Vesper Quill, who haunts my thoughts, despite the broken bond and distance between us.

    When I realize Vesper is in danger, my priorities change, and I vow to use all my telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities to help her. I will save Vesper from her enemies and mineā€”even if I have to burn down the whole bloody galaxy.

    Galactic Bonds books and reading order …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG

    Question: How many books will be in your Galactic Bonds series?

    Answer: As of right now, I am planning to write at least three books in my Galactic Bonds series.

    Only Good Enemies, book #2, will be out on July 18, so after this book, there will be at least one more book about Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. Iā€™m also planning to write Only Hard Problems, a novella from Zane Zimmerā€™s point of view that takes place after Only Good Enemies.

    Here is the Galactic Bonds series reading order (as of right now):

    Iā€™m really enjoying writing in my Galactic Bonds sci-fi fantasy world, and if the series continues to sell well, then I will probably write some more books. I already have an idea for another/new couple that I would love to write about. If youā€™ve read Only Bad Options, you can probably guess who that will be, but no spoilers from me. šŸ˜‰Ā 

    I appreciate all the nice comments about Only Bad Options, and I hope you all love Only Good Enemies as much as I do. Thank you for reading.

    ONLY BAD OPTIONS DESCRIPTION:

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep blasts off with an exciting new science-fiction fantasy adventure with a dash of historical romance. This action-packed space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO SEES EVERYTHING . . .

    Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, Iā€™m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research and development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I amā€”and wants to eliminate me.

    I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I donā€™t see the trouble headed my way until itā€™s too late. Suddenly, Iā€™m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

    I donā€™t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.

    A MAN WHO CANā€™T FORGET HIS PAST . . .

    The name Kyrion Caldaren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperiumā€™s elite fighting force, Iā€™m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corios are afraid of me.

    But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.

    Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the deadly enemies who want to bend us to their will.
