Farewell Speech

"Body-sharing aliens, life-altering choices, and a mother's devotion—what's not to love?" – K. M. Herkes, author of The Sharp Edge of Yesterday

"…it's fun, it's engaging, and I got through it in one evening. I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommended!" – Ryan Hodros, HodrosBooks Review

The Project Black Book series continues!

An only child trying to protect his disabled mom.

A single mother trying to make ends meet for her teenage son.

Matt King knows something is wrong when the Air Force offers to cure his mom's aphasia. There is no cure, only learning to speak again from scratch. The real question is why the Air Force is scamming his mom with false hope—and he means to get to the bottom of that.

Ilene King knows more than she can tell Matt. The Air Force's "cure" is real: a back-up brain preloaded with English. And it comes with a job, so Matt will never have to learn about the looming financial cliff threatening to topple their house and cozy home life. The strings attached to the Air Force's offer are staggering, but Ilene will do anything to give her son the stability he needs to just be a kid again after his father's death and her stroke. Even if that means letting an alien live in her body.
