Another Sinners’ Book in the Works?
Sort of.
Some of you might remember all the heartache I endured over the release of Myrna and Brian’s epilogue, Appetite for Seduction. Ultimately, it was never released. So I pretended those 20,000 words no longer existed and I waited… I can be patient sometimes.
I recently turned down a six-figure publishing contract to self-publish the Exodus End series. An added bonus of that OMG-WTF-am-I-thinking decision is that I can release that Backstage Pass epilogue. Finally! And since I have fulfilled my previous contract, I can publish whatever new titles I want, whenever I want.
So I got to thinking… Brian and Myrna aren’t the ONLY couple in the Sinners series who get married. Heck, if you go a couple of years into the future, they’ll all be married (or the equivalent). Why stop with the first couple? And so…
This is happening!
Sinners at the Altar
This is NOT a full-length, stand alone novel. This is a compilation of six novellas, some that take place during the story arc of the Sinners on Tour series and some that take place after Double Time, the last book in the series. So you’ll get a few gaps filled in, plus get to see what the guys are up to in the future. Just how many kids can Sed and Jess have in three years? You do the math. 🙂 Or if you suck at math, read November Pain and Choose Your Illusion.
So here’s what will be included and where the stories take place in the scheme of things.
*SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SINNERS ON TOUR SERIES!!!*
1. Appetite for Seduction
Running parallel with the events of Rock Hard, Appetite for Seduction, shows the story of Brian Sinclair and Myrna Evan’s wedding day in Las Vegas from their point of view. Their wedding night festivities are interrupted by Trey’s little accident.
2. Sweet Love of Mine
Directly following the book Wicked Beat, Sweet Love of Mine, is the courthouse wedding of Eric Sticks and Rebekah Blake followed by their wedding night. Aww, isn’t Eric sweet?
3. Patience
After months of planning, Sed and Jessica’s big day almost ends in disaster. Can the rest of the band save the day, before Jessica becomes a bridezilla? Patience is set several months after Double Time.
4. November Pain
Jace and Aggie decide to tie the knot. Is anything they do conventional? Yeah, probably not. This one takes place near the end of the Exodus End series–a year after Double Time. But I PROMISE not to include Exodus End spoilers.
5. Choose Your Illusion
This is Reagan and Trey’s epilogue. It occurs well after the Exodus End series is completely finished, so more than two years after Double Time. It’s going to be really tough not to include Exodus End spoilers in this one, but I can do it. Right? *deep breath*
I’m not sure how long this sucker will end up being. I’m guessing pretty long. One bad thing about self-publishing is that bookstores don’t readily stock self-published paperback books, so I hope you’re not against purchasing books online. You’re probably not going to walk into Barnes and Noble and see it on the shelf.
The ebook version of Sinners at the Altar will include some bonus features. 1. Deleted scenes. Remember what a pansy Myrna’s exhusband, Jeremy, turned out to be? Yeah, well in my original version of the book, he was a complete psycho. I’ve always wanted people to read that scene as I originally wrote it, so *bam!* bonus feature in the SatA ebook. 2. Aggie’s mom is a loser ditz? Not so much in the original. Find out why Jace got shot in the original version of Hot Ticket. If you’re so inclined. If not, no skin off my teeth. I’ll also include the Sinners Short stories that are currently FREE on Sinners Excerpts blog, and am thinking of adding a new one about Eric’s second Thanksgiving with the Blake’s. Isaac’s not invited. 😉
So I think that covers everything except the release date. Keep your fingers crossed for late October. No guarantees. I’m still working on it. But that’s my goal. I will keep you posted. And if you want to track my progress, you can watch my word count meters below. Those little dudes are like crack to me. I love updating the word counts.
I hope you’re as excited about this project as I am. More time with Sinners. Woot!
Next on my agenda after SatA: Releasing the first Exodus End book, Insider. It’s going to be a BUSY, BUSY autumn for me. I might not be online much.
(and maybe you noticed that the novella titles are in tribute to one of my favorite bands of the late eighties/early nineties… Yeah, it’s kind of dumb, but you’ll live.)
Woohoo! This is great news, Olivia. And I buy the majority of my books online, so that isn’t a problem for me. Will this book eventually be available on Createspace?
I am very very happy that the Sinner’s wil go on! I didn’t want it to end in Wicked Beat and I felt that Olivia should find a way to continue with this great series which she truly did. I think that she didn’t want to let her readers that loved this series down which she did not disappoint…..
I actually got tears in my eyes! Oh Olivia! That is AWESOME! THANK YOU!!
I can’t wait to read it!!!!
BTW Got the G&R attachment 😉
this has just made my day love ur book cant wait for this thank you
Wow! This is such HAPPY news! I finally read Double Time (yesterday) THINKING it was the last Sinners book, and I had to say goodbye to my boys. *sniff* I love this entire idea. ThanksThanksThanksThanks!!! *clapping my hands*

This is the best news ever! I’m desperate to dig into the Exodus End series but I can sure exercise a little restraint if it means we’re going to get us some more Sinners stories to tie up the loose ends.
Finished reading Tell Me yesterday….it was brilliant. Gabe is such a sensitive sole, what a beautifully developed in-depth story line…Well Done!

Woohoo, wonderful news about another Sinners book and other to come for Exodus End
Ok, I was already considering you an awesome author, and now you go and do this to totally blow me away in such a good way! That is wonderful news! Pre-orders here I come!
Rock on!! I am beyond thrilled to read more about Sinners. However, my memory is not so clear about Exodus End. What’s it about?
Remember Trey Mills’ brother Dare? Exodus End is Dare’s band. The one that Reagan is with. Sinners are currently on tour with them.
Okay maybe I missed it somewhere but is Dare’s book out yet or is one coming out (very) soon? So happy more Sinners books are coming. Where can I find reading order on these books and release dates. I love to read and I’m running out of books to read so I’m reading all my books over but I read so fast they don’t last long. 🙂
I was so sad when I finished reading Double Time because I thought I had to say goodbye to Sinners! You have just made my year!!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!! Thank you!
SOOOOOOO excited. Got a little chocked up reading the mini summeries of each. cant wait and I think they will help bring closure of sorts to everyones stories that will be awesome
when you say Trey and Reagan you mean Trey, Ethan and Reagan right???? Please
Can’t wait. I will definitely purchase this online or where ever I can get it. I am a Sinners lover and can’t wait. Will be a late bday present for myself. Also looking forward to the Exodus End series. Can’t wait for some Dare. He is awesome and freakin’ hot.
I’m so excited about ALL of your new stuff coming out..and I will be there WHEN ever and WHERE ever and HOW ever!!! I am a SINNERS junkie…love those men, especially Jace 🙂 I am also looking forward to Dare’s story in Exodus End! I now know what an awesome author and person you are to have turned down six figures…WOW I don’t know if I could have done it!!! I’m glad you made the right choice for you though and ultimately we all benefit…thanks for being you Olivia 🙂
So excited I am literally dancing around my office!!!!!!! This is absolutely AMAZING news! I never get tired of those Sinners boys! Just finished Tell Me and totally loved it. Keep writing girlie!
YES!!!! You are the best! Especially glad you are including the free short stories cause it’s hard to make sure I’ve seen everything. You’re books are the best!
They’re back! OMG OMG can’t wait! You are my smut god Olivia! keep ’em coming!
This is awesome news, and an October release would just make my birth month! (No pressure, though. Do it right or don’t do it at all!)
I can’t wait to read Sinner at the Alter and the Exodus End Series! Are you planning any additional Lover’s Leap novellas?

Olivia I bow down to you! I really do! You are already one of my favorite authors and now I just think you are unbelievably phenomenal. First – turning down that contract…I have no words…except that I hope me and the rest of the Sinners junkies will more than make up for that with our purchases of your books! I pre-order and buy them as soon as possible and pay whatever they cost. I have such high regard for self pub authors and I tell them – charge me what you need to stay self pub!!!! Secondly – we’re all here because of your books so this post with all these GREAT, AWESOME news has me on such a high. I, like a lot of people, was really sad (I said so on my Goodreads review of Double Time) to say goodbye to Sinners so more Sinners books are exciting! I can never get enough. I can read about them forever. I’m trying to contain my excitement about Exodus End because it can’t come fast enough so I’m trying to control it – unsuccessfully ! Olivia – THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT AND SHARING IT WITH US!
YAY!!! I am so excited!!! That means more JACE please!! 😀
Can’t wait Olivia where ever I have to buy your books I will!!!!
gaaaaaaahhhhhh….. you don’t know how this totally made my day… two novellas for Brian!!!! more Brian!!!! ahhhhh… i’m freaking rereading the whole series again… and i can’t wait for exodus ends series too!!!!
omg. im so excited. i cant wait. i just love your books. keep up the great work. 🙂
I’ve got goose bumps! I need more Sinners! Can’t wait for the Exodus End series either!
Yes! Yes! Yes! (Said like in the old Herbal Essences ads!) I was a little sad when I finished Eric’s book, knowing it was the end of the Sinners books. And now they are coming back! Count me in as one happy reader!
It was really brave of you to turn down your contract. I hope the freedom it gives you makes you happy, and that you end up being even more successful on your own! I’ll be in line to buy them no matter what!
CAN NOT WAIT!
Olivia, you rock!
Hail to the Queen!
All I can say is YOU ROCK Olivia!!!! Master Sinclair was my 1st book boyfriend rocker!!! And so far no one has come close to him. He will always have a special place in my heart. Don’t get me wrong I love all my Sinners but he is my fav. Can’t wait and thanks for turning down the book deal…YOU ROCK!!!
Beyond excited!!!!
AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME!!!
I love The Sinners on Tour series. Keep’ em coming.
so excited! but… trey and reagan only? what about ethan?
oh WOW!!! Awesome news!! Can’t wait 🙂
SOOOOO excited for this! I always wondered what the future looked like for the band and the couples after Double Time and now we get to find out! Also super excited for Insider, can’t wait for Exodus End.
Wow thats awesome news! Well done for doing what u feel is right for you, ur fans will support u!!
October? As in next month,October? As in my birthday month October? Screaming like a true blue fan girl! Can’t think of a better birthday present! Love my boys, and can’t wait to read all about their happily ever afters! A thousand thanks for putting this together!
I would just like to throw out there that I LOVE THIS FUCKING COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh ya there were so many things I had to comment on that I forgot to say that I love this cover!
I have to ask. You said you’re now your own publisher, is this going to change anything about publishing your books in other language? Will there be translations?
So excited – can’t wait for this book & the Exodus End books!
Loving the Sinners books, reading Trey’s at the moment. Gutted to find out that the Exodus End ones aren’t published yet – really want to read about them.

This ought to be very interesting can’t wait for the first release.
Hi Olivia, love, love, love Gabe and Melanie and can’t wait for the next book in the One Night with Sole Regret series about them. I guess that’ll be #11. Is there a date for this one just yet? Thanks.
So happy to hear about this and I also can’t wait for “take 2” of the Blake Thanksgiving dinner – hope it goes better for Eric this time!
I am a bit curious why Brian gets 2 novellas though when the others get one each. I love Brian and Myrna don’t get me wrong, but I feel they dominate the entire series a bit, while we don’t get as much of the others.
BUT I can’t wait nonetheless. Another great creation from OC to look forwards to!

Keeping the character voices the same while listening to the new books will really complete it all for me. I listen to your books while working and it makes my work day fast and enjoyable. Can’t wait to hear/read them!!
SOOOOOO excited about this! Love those Sinner boys!

I also love your little word count meters, it’s great to see how it goes along.
OMG!!! I’m soooo excited! I’ve actually missed these boys and can’t wait for more. And moving on to Exodus End too..excellent. Woot-woot.. Thanks Olivia!
