Alicia asked Linwood Barclay:

I was very excited to find you had written two books for young readers. My son read them back to back and LOVED THEM! I enjoy sharing my favorite authors with him, (he is 10). Will you be doing more in the Chase series or any other kid books?

Linwood Barclay I'm so glad your son enjoyed Chase and Escape. They were a lot of fun to write. The first one is very autobiographical, in that as a young teen I was pressed into service to run a fishing camp after my father died. (That experience became a memoir called Last Resort.) And I actually took in a stray dog we named Chipper. I don't have plans to write more in the series at this time, but you never know, that might change. But I had been finding that doing my annual regular thriller for adults, and another novel for younger readers, was proving to be a little more than I could handle. Please pass on my best wishes to your son. Linwood
