When are you planning to write another Sigrid Odegard book? She is one of the best characters and I look forward to meeting her in another mystery.
Derek B. Miller
I'm thinking about it. In 2021 I'll be publishing TWILIGHT CRIMES. That will introduce Sheldon Horowitz in the 1930s and makes it a prequel to Norwegian by Night where we encounter Sheldon again at 82 (and meet Sigrid). In American by Day Sheldon is gone and Sigrid takes the story forward alone. If I write another, and I suspect I will, We'll jump ahead again and I think Sigrid and Irv will both play strong parts in a wider story that introduces new characters. I like the idea of leaving behind the old model of a constant protagonist (Perry Mason, Jack Reacher), and instead having a constant and unfolding inter-generational story. It's a new way of looking at things. Every book stands on its own, but every book follows from others. Like people.

Mr. Miller, How in American by Day did you come to bring Saranac Lake and Siqourmey Weaver into the story? I have visited Siqourney's camp on Long Lake and met her in NYC several years ago. My secretaries husband was her caretaker. I currently live in Plattsburgh but have spent endless hours in the area that you mention in the story. I am assuming that you have vacationed in the area. Just curious, Jack Mulholland

Goodreads lists Norwegians by Night as both Sigrid Odegard #1 and Sheldon H #2...? do they have it wrong? . Sigrid didn't enter the plot until about halfway through. The book seems to be about Sheldon....so I was looking for Sheldon Horowitz #1......I see by questions below that probably not? The ending was perfect BTW
