I know you're not going to like this answer...but I don't know.

I have a spin-off of the series partly done, which has Michael and Kermit as secondary characters. I also have a fourth full Michael Collins book in my head, in which he goes back to Florida and partners back up with Jane Nance his love interest from "No Time To Die" because he needs the money.

“We are, whether by nature or nurture, episodic. We find a problem and then we fix it. We want there to be a beginning and an end.”

It’s hard to maintain faith when life gives you such pain and organized religion seems to have been co-opted by the cruel and self-righteous.”
J.D. Trafford, Little Boy Lost

“The hallway outside the courtroom was as crowded as ever, filled with people who were at some stage of “growing into their guilt.” This refers to a concept very similar to the five stages of grief developed by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross: First, a criminal defendant denies; he claims to be innocent.
