R.J. Blain answered Graham Tallents's question: Absolutely loved both Outfoxed and Up in Smoke. Please tell me that the third episode is in the pipeline, as there is so much yet to be answered in this fantastic tale? Yes, there will be a third book, which will be entitled Death's Door. No ETA yet for it, though.

“What can I say? He’s a man, and as my queen and bride says, men are stupid. Especially me, for having taught our son to be a man, too, who in turn taught his son. We’re a plague, us men. At least we’re handsome enough to keep around despite being stupid enough to tempt our women to murder us.”
