Coming 2017!

Ugh, what is this? Won't this woman knock it off with these books already?

Um, hell no! There are seven books and this is only the third, so I hope you're ready for more adventures!

Welcome to Lost Stars!

The third book in The Jewel Project series, here are a few reminders and things you need to know, whether you are a seasoned adventurer or just starting off. I warn you that the following contains spoilers seeing as it's basically what happened in the previous books. The spoilers are however held to a minimum because I'm not going into major details.

Main Cast

What happened so far

TY: Sam and the rest of the team get recruited, they find the first stone (supposedly a ruby) in an unexplored Mayan temple,  meet Snitch Gravel, almost get killed a number of times, a lot of romance and then finally, they get home.

FB: Sam and the team start training as secret agents, but are quickly sent on another mission to rescue an agent and find the next stone. They find out about the jewel project, about Snitch Gravel being an ex-agency member and they almost die a number of times. They also find more missing relatives and find an orange diamond which might not be a diamond after all. They all break up with the girlfriends except for Tom.

What will happen in Lost Stars

Well, I can't really tell you that. You'll have to read to find out. But here are a few things I can tell you:

Timing: September, so a few weeks after FB

Setting: this story will take you to Japan, Malta and India, and briefly Tibet

Drama level: through the roof!

Relationships drama level: moderate

Relationships evolution level: it's getting hot in here...

Mystery progression: slow and steady

Big dog-pile fight: ✅

So I hope you will enjoy Lost Stars. The blurb is so far terrible, but I'll try to come up with a better one soon.

Updates? So far once a week, on Wednesday.
