A number of you have been asking about the third book, which I finished writing a year and a half ago.  Here’s the deal . . . Borderline Insanity didn’t sell well enough, so the publisher didn't want to continue the series.  (I get it . . . when you're publishing Dean Koontz and Patricia Cornwell, my numbers are going to seem puny, and why not concentrate efforts on things with more mass appeal?) It’s a shame, because I’m very proud of Borderline Insanity, and very proud of the new one too. 

I’m not shopping the third book to other publishers because my sense is that no one wants to buy a book mid-series if they can’t control the whole series. There are two options at this point:

1.  People who want more Dagny Gray books can let the publisher of the first two, Thomas and Mercer, know that they’d really like them to publish more in the series. Maybe tweet at them. Maybe leave Facebook comments. Leaving reviews on Goodreads and Amazon can help a ton too. If there's enough demand, maybe they change their mind.

2.  I will try to publish it myself, but this will require time for editing, cover art, formatting, audio-recording, etc., that I don’t have right now, so this option will take some time.

In Chapter 38 of The Bubble Gum Thief, Dagny Gray wakes up in the field at the Del Ray YMCA in Alexandria. This is the same ball field where a mad man fired upon Congressmen, staffers, and officers today. My girlfriend (now wife) and I used to go the that Y, and we crossed through these fields regularly. She lived two blocks from the YMCA. I gave Dagny a home just down the street because I knew and loved the neighborhood. You won’t find any other neighborhood this unbelievably quaint so close to D.C.–it has a real small town feel, even though it’s very close to the Metro and a stone’s throw from Old Town.

So far: 33 chapters; 5 murders; 2 sessions with Dr. Childs; and 1 flipped car.

I’m currently writing Chapter 21 of the third Dagny Gray book.  Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?  Well, I’ll slower than either of them, but hang in there.  It will be worth the wait.
