Thanks Connie! That part wrote itself, if I'm being honest. I had a dream about it.

Thanks Sara :)

Flight Moon is a little of both. The story of the three brothers is directly linked to the world of the next book, and the mystery of the ending is discovered.

And it's two generations, so not quite 100 years. There is a character that shows up in the next book, but that is a surprise. :)

Thanks Gary! It is very exciting making the transition to print.
