Readers Comment About the Storm Syrrell Adventures

Gold of Kings was a fascinating story! And I loved the video clip you made with Bob Marx. I am a history buff so I really enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Harry Bennett's treasures. Absolutely amazing!

Dear Margie,

Working with Bob Marx has been such a blast. Every time we meet up, I walk away feeling overfull of impressions, recollections, and thoughts for new books. His ability as a treasure dog is matched by his love of tales.

The Black Madonna is a great book! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a follow-up to Gold of Kings. However, the second book's ending did leave things hanging. Did Raphael die? This is the reason that I am visiting your web site for the first time. I was hoping to hear there would be a new book with more on Storm and Raphael.

It is a blessing to find a writer who honors God with inspirational messages and moral stories without compromising values just so more books can be sold. God bless you and your wife.

Dear Karen,

Thank you so much for the delightful review. Yes, I know, it was an odd way to end the story. And when I sent off the manuscript, I waited for the editor to come back and say, YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO YOUR READERS.

Instead, she said she thought it fit the story extremely well. Big sigh of relief for me, huge outcry from a lot of fans, including you.

Yes, there will be a sequel. But as you may have already seen from earlier notes, it will be a couple of years off.

I have read just about all of your books – may have missed one or two. I have just finished reading Black Madonna, and once again you have solved a seemingly impossible problem. But how could you leave Raphael lying there in a coma, with Storm so much in love?  She deserves better than that. I assume (at least I hope) there is to be another book in process to resolve their situation, and create some new unsolvable issues.

Dear Shirley,

I know, it was an awful thing to do. Then again, it made for a superb ending to that story. It is sort of like the ending Janette and I put together for the first of the Acadia series, when the babies were switched and then that night was the great expulsion.

In any case, yes, a third and final book in the series is planned, but the publishers have asked that I do one book before then.
