Michael Dalton answered Taff's question: I enjoyed Boat Wizard and was wondering about the series. Do you have a number of books in mind? Any idea on release date of second book. Thanks again for your books, the Bikini series was really good. Second book is out. There will be a third and probably a fourth.

Quotes by Michael Dalton (?)

“I just don’t want to be a prize in this dispute between her and her mother. Until we can come to some sort of agreement on that point, I’m not doing shit with either of them. I’m more than a walking life support system for my dick.”
― Michael Dalton, Trailer Park Elves

“There is no rule of writing so sacrosanct that a talented writer can't break it with impunity if he knows what he's doing. If you never cross lines or break conventions in your writing, you're not doing your job as an artist.”
― Michael Dalton
