Just wondering if there were going to be any more books in the Samuel Branch series? I've really enjoyed reading them and was curious what was going to happen to him next.

Hi Pcsaust,
First things first, thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoy the books. I try to keep them entertaining.
In answer to your question, yep, I expect there will be at least 2 more Samual Branch novels to wrap up the current story arc.
I know the long gaps between the books are frustrating. The biggest challenge for me at this point is coming up with plausible threats that Sam can't simply "Branch smash" into oblivion. It usually takes my imagination a while to supply me with something complicated enough to be worthy of Sam's attention/fury.
The good news is that I've done a little work on Book 4 already. My goal is to get the next book out sometime in 2019.
In the meantime, I've put up a works-in-progress meter on the homepage of my website (http://ericdontigney.com). I don't update the meter as often as I should, but it'll give you a general sense of how close I am to finishing first drafts.
If you liked the Branch novels, you should definitely give my other book - Contingency Jones: The Complete Season One - a try. The majority of people who read the Branch novels and Jones have liked both.
I've also got another book coming out later this summer. It's a paranormal mystery called The Midnight Ground. It's not a Branch novel, but it lives in a similar neighborhood to the Branch books. It might help tide you over until I get that next Branch book written.
Again, thanks for reading!
Best,
Eric D.
