  1. Mitch Turner #7 Update + The Second Option Chapter 1

    11/26/2025

    Mitch Turner #7 Update + The Second Option Chapter 1

    It has certainly been a very busy month, and I can’t believe I’m sitting down here again to record another podcast with a writing update and the first chapter of The Second Option, Mitch Turner #6. It’s just been a very crazy time period for me. Anyhow, a couple of brief updates. The Second Option Audiobook is now out and it’s available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. So if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, now is a good opportunity. I will have the first chapter of The Second Option here on the podcast at the end of my writing update. So if you’re interested for a little taste of what it’s like, you can get it here. Also, I am working very hard right now on Mitch Turner #7, that has been taking almost all of my time. It’s been going very well. I’m very pleased with the progress. I don’t have a firm release date yet, but it will either be in December or early January, so that tells you I’m pretty far along in the process. I’m feeling really good about it. I’m closing in here on the final few drafts, and so hopefully more to come on that very soon. I have two books that for sure are going to be published in December: Hard Line and The Rat’s Nest. Hard Line has been done now for actually quite a few months, and it’s just taken me a while to push it through the copyediting process. I’m happy to finally be releasing Jason Maxfield #4 or Hard Line. That should be a very fun book. I’ve got some really good, positive beta reader feedback, so we will have to see what everybody thinks about it when I release it here. That will be coming out very soon in December. Also, Audrey Spencer #2, The Rat’s Nest, is pretty much done, so that is going to be coming out here in December as well. December is certainly shaping up to be a very busy month for me. Anyhow, that’s all I have for writing updates this week. So now we have chapter one of The Second Option, Mitch Turner #6. —Dan Decker This is a public episode.

  2. Writing Update + Chapter Five of The Good Client

    Writing Update + Chapter Five of The Good Client

    It’s time for another writing update. Things have been going very well over here. I have just recently finished Audrey Spencer #2 , and that is going to be titled The Rat’s Nest. So the first book in the series is called The Killers Club, and I thought The Rat’s Nest would be a good title for the second book, and that’s going to be coming out here within the next month or two. I am currently doing beta reading on that, and after that’s done, it’s going to go to copyediting. So more to come on that very soon. Also, Jason Maxfield #4, and I can’t remember if I’ve announced the title for this yet or not. It is titled Hard Line. Hard Line will be coming out here very soon. It’s done, pretty much done with the copyediting process. And so I will be getting that released here shortly, sometime in November, so stay tuned for that. Work is going great on Mitch Turner #7. I’m really pleased with the storyline and how it’s coming along, and that will be coming down the pipe as well. And if that wasn’t enough for writing updates, I can also announce that the second option audiobook will soon be out. And I also contracted with Eric to begin work on Only the Guilty. He will also be doing the audiobook version of that. So a lot is going on here. Lots of fun, exciting things. I’ve been very busy with everything I’ve been working on, but I have a lot of different things coming down the pipe here. So without any further ado, here is the next chapter of The Good Client. By the way, you can purchase the full audiobook here on Audible. This is a public episode.

    Writing Update + Chapter 4 of The Good Client

    Just checking in with a writing update and another chapter of the Good Client. Things are going very well for me over here at Grim Archer Media. It's been a while since my last writing update, so I have actually quite a bit to talk about. First thing is the second option. Audiobook is nearly done. I don't have a firm date on when it will be available on Audible and iTunes and Amazon, but that will be coming here probably within the next two weeks, if not even a little bit sooner. So be on the lookout for that. Book two of the Audrey Spencer series is now almost done. I've made incredible headway on that, and I am putting the finishing touches on that now, and will hopefully be sending that over for copy editing soon. I don't think I've announced yet, but the title for the new Jason Maxfield book is Hard Line, and it is going to be released here probably within the next month. Copyediting is almost done on that. I've kind of been a little bit slow getting that one out, because I've been so focused on Audrey Spencer, but that one is coming. And finally, Mitch Turner, number seven. Yes. I can't believe we're already up to book seven. I'm going to be starting on that full time here very soon. I've already done work on that, and I am looking forward to turning my full time attention to that. Anyhow, that is all I have today for the writing update. Today I also have for you chapter four of The Good Client. This book is available on Audible, Amazon, iTunes, and, uh, here is chapter four. This is a public episode.

    Chapter 8 of The Fixer Audiobook

    Well, we are finally coming to the end of the number of minutes I can release from the Fixer audio book before I start to run into problems with my exclusivity agreement on Audible. So today, I'm happy to present you with chapter eight, which will be the last free chapter I can post. There are now eight total chapters out there available various places on YouTube, on my website, on Substack, and some of them even made it onto some social media platforms as well. So if you somehow missed those, definitely go and check those out today before we get into chapter eight of The Fixer. I did want to share a couple of recent reviews that came in from some readers that I really enjoyed that I thought were kind of fun. And so I will go ahead and read them for you now. One person said, this is a real thriller and I didn't want to put this one down. It kept me. He kept me guessing for sure. A must read and very suspenseful. I really like to hear that. That's always what I'm trying to go for, is to make it so it's difficult to put it down, and you just want to keep tearing through the pages. Another one said it's easy to get into many plot twists. You never know who the good guys are. This lawyer goes above and beyond for his client. And, uh, the way that he titled his review, there was never know who done it. Anyhow, a couple of really good reviews there that came in within the last, uh, little bit here, and I thought I'd share those with you. So today, here is chapter eight of The Fixer.
