That’s great, I am thrilled because I enjoy both the Middle Falls and the Alex Hawk series. I thought you had said at one point that you were not going to write any more middle falls, it was probably just taking a break but I did not look for a while and boom there are three of them! Here is to more and more people find your books they are very entertaining. This is not a question just a thanks but its making me add?

One thing I'm learning is that I am really terrible at ending series.
When I wrote the first half of Thomas Weaver, I thought it was a standalone book. It wasn't until Carrie turned to Thomas in the hallway and said, "How many lives is this for you?" that I knew there would be a sequel.
My plan was to write a trilogy. That morphed into six books, when I announced I was done with the series. Six more immediately followed before I again announced I was done with it. I just published #14 in June, and I am planning to release #15 in December, so we see how that went.
It's the same, more or less, with Alex Hawk. I envisioned it as a trilogy. When that was wrapped up, I saw another storyline that would take two books to resolve. My intent was to kill Alex off so I wouldn't be tempted to return. Now I am starting a sixth book this week and am planning a seventh for early 2022.
As I say, I'm not very good at killing off characters!

In Aiden Anderson you bring up the ability to use future hits. This is at least the 2nd time you have mentioned that. Does that mean in one of your lives you became a huge rock-star using future hits but then felt guilty? Maybe one of the songs you got the release date wrong and the real writer also released it but came out like a week after yours so they thought he was the one plagiarizing?

Hi Shawn, just finished Thomas weaver's story - loved it. It has inspired me to write my own time travel story, so thank you for that. I obviously fell in love with the Tommy and Carrie story. My question is, will there be a book on Carrie? I don't know if I can read 19 books with no more Carrie. Please tell me she will re emerge?

I am listening to the Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver - thanks Audible - and I am really enjoying it so far. Your sense of humour! I love it. Also it is nostalgia-y-fun to roam around '76 with Thomas with 21st Century eyes. However.....why doesn't he just go to the cops?! I don't get it. The fact that I don't understand this is driving me nuts.
