In "Something Came Through" you devote a full short story about a faceless creature dealing with an elderly man. In a subsequent story (You Can Never Go Back), there's a mention of a faceless person. Are they the same entity? And, if not, are they connected in some way?
Joe Hart
Hi Paolo, thanks very much for the question! In the former story I envisioned the faceless entity to be a manifestation of death while in You Can Never Go Back the faceless was how the main character thought of the man who had abducted and killed his sister since he was never caught- but the case could also be made he is another representation of death itself since he remained anonymous. That's really up to the reader...

I finished reading The First City at about 1am this morning! and absolutely loved it. The first thing that popped into my head was I would love more from this world and its characters! I want to know more about the First City and its people, as well as those in Seattle. Would you ever consider revisiting "The First City" and its residents again, maybe set a few more years on when Ellie & Lynn are a bit older?

Hi, I have just recently read The River is Dark and am in the middle of The Waiting. Love both and will continue reading your books with relish. I am curious about your experience with handicapped children, if it's not too personal? Good luck to you in your career, thanks for the many hours of reading/listening pleasure.
