Thanks for the kind words, guys. I will definitely be looking at a fourth book. Mike, I also found the problem with the author linkage and fixed it. I really need to get my prescription fixed for my glasses. Really, I think it is time for bifocals. Oh, no!
Anyway, "Hard Rain Falling" was the most difficult of the three to write due to the technical issues and the expanded cast but I loved every minute of it. Been working on an outline for Book Four and actually written the first few chapters as well as some later "scenes" I'd like to incorporate.
I'm currently working on the full length novel "A Feast for Crows" which picks up where the short story ended with Brad McCoy. He's such a damaged character who is also a jerk, so it is fun writing. But, we could tell from the end of the short, his ice is beginning to melt. Plus, there's zombies. I need to make clear in the novel that shooting zombies in the head is harder than I made it seem for Brad. The whole "horde" thing actually works to his favor since the Z tend to stand shoulder to shoulder and advance directly at you. Actually, hitting a head sized moving target is HARD unless you are positioned just right. Go to a range sometime that has moving targets and see what I mean.
Anyway, thanks!
Will
