Rich asked Colin Conway:

keep the 509 series going it is very very well done. The first book was good a little roughl but good the second third ones were over the top good. Are you going to keep this series going or is it done at 5?

Colin Conway Hi Rich -

Thank you for the question. The series will keep going. I'm preparing for the sixth book to come out in early 2021. It will be the second Dallas Nash novel (the follow-up to THE LONG COLD WINTER).

Then I have two short story collections set in the 509. Many of the stories will feature appearances by characters from the novels. Some stories will just be to set the tone of the 509.

In May, an anthology will come out featuring other authors setting their short stories in the heart of the 509. Those stories will have cameo appearances from some the big name 509 characters. I'm editing that collection now and excited for that to come out.

After all of that, there are two new series that are set parallel to the 509 universe. One series features an amateur sleuth set in 2004 (about fifteen years prior to the 509). The second series features a former deputy set at the same time as the 509 series. These amateur sleuths will cross over with officers of the 509 (the earlier character will obviously meet the officers when they are younger in their career).

Then it's back to the keyboard as I have several other 509 stories outlined. That's a lot of words to say the 509 will live on far beyond book six.

Thanks for the question and thank you for reading!
