How many books will the School for Minions series be? I'm currently reading the third book and hopefully have the fourth book sitting in my mailbox waiting for me when I get home. I just love your writing style. I picked up your book on a whim, and even though I'm obviously not the audience for it, I've really been enjoying them.

I'm so glad you've been enjoying the books, that's really great to hear. Thank you! The fourth book is the final book in the series. They were a lot of fun to write and I'll miss writing about those characters, for sure.
Take care,

I do have an idea for a sequel, but right now most of my attention is on writing book 4 in the Dr. Critchlore series. Every now and then I'll find my mind wandering back to Yipsmix, though. Sometimes it's hard to stay focused on one story.

Thanks for the question!
Sheila

Just for fun

I love mysteries. I love solving puzzles. And I love making puzzles, too.

I also love to learn new things. And so, I combined all these loves into a project that was a lot of fun - The Critchlore Mini-Mystery series of videos.

Here's the introductory video, with narration by the wonderful Nate Begle and art by the equally wonderful Joe Sutphin. I hope you'll check it out:

Sheila’s Quotes

“(Therapist:) "It's interesting that you drew yourself with this little golden crown on your head. What does the crown mean to you?"
"That's not a crown," she told him. "That's a nimbus of outrage.”
