Announcing Resurgence: Back in Business will be available January 2, 2026. Yes, that’s right. Here’s a holiday gift of reading for you.

Here’s what’s happening with Richard Verry of late.

New Release: ‘Shadowed Instruction’ hit the shelves on September 30, 2025. It’s book 2 in the Consortium Origins, of a planned three-book Series. It’s available now on Amazon, and soon, on your favorite book reseller. It continues with the Consortium’s Chairman revealing the core of the business to his children. They take the news well, and are excited to get involved, and learning the ins and outs of a legacy that will one day be theirs. Did you get your copy yet? If not, get your copy here: Shadowed Instruction on Amazon.

Upcoming Release: ‘Shadowed Integration’ (Book 3 in the Consortium Origins Series) is well underway for a winter release. This release moves the children into the leadership role of the Consortium and taking the business into new heights of drama and suspense.

Counterblow, Book 8 in the Consortium Series is a Success. Released in July 2025, it has received fantastic support from current and new readers. It’s chock full of drama and trauma, with erotic suspense mixed throughout. Sir and Avril’s romance grows, even as Sir’s sister, Raven hates Avril. More critical to Raven is getting revenge on those who orchestrated the loss of their auction center, cavea. Who were they, you ask? Two young women who suffered loss at the hands of the Consortium. If you haven’t read this story yet, why not? Read it today at Amazon.

What’s Next? Resurgence (working title) Consortium Book 9 is next. I recently completed the draft manuscript and moved it into the editing stage. What’s the tease? Sir and Avril’s romance blossoms, like a Day Lilly that opens during the day and closes at night. There’s raw trauma that prey and consortium members alike must deal with. I hope to release this edition of the Consortium Series by the end of the year.

What am I planning For 2026?

I need to finish the Mona Bendarova Series, starting with ‘The Taste of Honey’. Once I suffered my severe concussion, I never got beyond book 4, which ends with a severe cliffhanger. Therefore, the story does not have a resolution. It’s been on my mind for the past few years, and even more so this past year. Mona needs to know what’s coming, I need to know how she deals with the attacks against her, and my readers, well let’s just say the feedback I’ve received indicates they hate the abrupt ending. I don’t blame them.

ReWrite my ‘Her Client Trilogy’. It’s a decent story, but it need severe editing. I plan on taking care of that.

The same goes for my novella, ‘The Breakup’. It too needs severe editing.

After that, I have ideas on where to take ‘The Consortium Series’ plus a plethora of story ideas I’ve collected over the years while my efforts were placed on writing the Consortium books.

Book 2 in the Consortium Origin Series

Did You Get Your Copy Yet?

In ‘Shadowed Instruction: Training’, the family’s children guarantee the Consortium’s future for many years.

However, the family business didn’t just happen overnight. The Consortium is a centuries-old organization dedicated to giving its members the freedom to do as they please, regardless of the cost. What they want is prey—people of various colors, races, sexes, and nationalities. Anyone who falls into their web gets consumed by the brutal rules of man.

Shadowed Instruction: Training continues the tale of how Raven and her brother grew up in such a household. Their father is training his children to take over the family business one day.

Shadowed Instruction Came Out on Sept/30/2025. Read this story today to discover how the children turned from young, lovable kids into loathsome young adults, selfishly taking anything without consequence.

Available today at Amazon.com.

Coming up with the idea for my novel, ‘The Trafficking Consortium,’ occurred quite by accident. In the summer of 2016, I suffered a severe concussion, which left me laid up for months. After a trip to the hospital, I started seeing doctors and therapists four to five days a week. In the beginning, I didn’t care. They helped me get better.

About 3-4 months after my injury, I noticed my brain felt different. I was missing the constant flow of creative thoughts and images I usually have. Frankly, I was scared. Would it ever return? Would I have to live my life without my favorite friend in my mind? After another three months, I was still wondering.

Book 1 in the Mona Bendarova Series

A new racy, sexy, risque novel with just a bit of kink.

The Taste of Honey is a tale of a woman who disappears, and everyone considers her a runaway, shirking her duties to her family and community.

It’s the tale of another woman who is charged with finding and returning her to face her fate, only to find that reality is not always what it seems or expected.

It’s a tale of family, suspense, intrigue, love, honor, sex, and sadomasochism.

What a month July turned out to be. Despite the extreme heat, fires, and floods in the US and Europe, I’ve had mild weather on Lake Ontario’s south shore. It’s given me a chance to do a lot of writing. I know my readers are eager to learn that I’m ahead of the curve for once.

So how am I doing this? First thing in the morning, I check the outdoor temperature and make a cup of coffee. Then I head out to my screened-in back porch with my laptop, coffee, and tunes playing in the background. There is a large green hedge behind my property, and the morning birds are chirping away, searching for food and mates.

Next, I check my overnight mail and social accounts. The ladder is new to me. I am not a social media person, and it’s only because of my publicist that I am even looking at them. Sorry to all the folks who wrote me over the years and never got a response. I’m working on that. Then, I get to work, reviewing my outline and notes and picking up where I left off.
