BIG HUGS FOR THE QUEEN! Well, as anyone who's written a series knows, the public has plenty of other books to choose from....I already know that people liked the first book and the characters, etc. but keeping interest in those characters is important and a second book followed by a third, etc. would have been the best way to do that. My circumstances didn't allow for that - BUT - I am promising that will change. I'll never be as prolific as Robert Parker and others with more than one novel a year in a series.....but I should be able to commit to one a year. SO - that being said - if anyone here hasn't read the first one - you have plenty of time to do that before the second one comes your way. Those of you who were kind enough to read the first one and waited - THANKS! You won't be disappointed.
