I haven't been a very good blogger here, but I did want to thank everyone who took the time not only to read my books but to comment on them as well.

It thrills me to hear that some of you have been reading my latest book, The Very, Very Far North, with your children, as a bedtime story. It's how I always hoped it would be experienced.

A few readers mentioned that they hoped there would be future stories with Duane and his friends. I'm happy to say that the companion book, Just Beyond the Very, Very Far North will be coming out on October 3rd of this year. In the first book, Duane creates his world, and in the second, Duane learns that how to protect it.
