Glen asked David Avery:

Dear David, I have just finished reading your book and enjoyed very much. I found myself discussing it with friends and coworkers chapter by chapter. It is a fine read and I can't wait for the rest of your series. I was completely interested and enthralled with you characters and wish you great success. Is Freddy going away or will you finish him off? Such a good villain shame not to see him get his.

David Avery Hi, Glen - thank you very much for the kind words, and I am very happy you enjoyed the book! I hadn't planned on writing about Freddy in any further detail, but I haven't ruled it out. These characters are alive inside my head and I know what happens to all of them. It may amuse you to know that Freddy transfers from Inverness after freshman year and eventually becomes chairman of the Republican party in his county in Ohio. My next book (if I can ever get it going!) has a heavy focus on Dusty and is in some ways a continuation of MBNH. The third book I have planned has a heavy focus on Daniel and is set in large parts on a Greek island one summer when John is editing one of his books and Daniel comes to visit when they are in their 40s. Thank you again!
