I recently stumbled upon your Middle Falls series on audible and I am enthrawled! I can't stop listening and thinking about each of these characters and what a life like this would be like. I just finished book 7 - each book gets better and better and I am so happy there are more to dive into! Which of these characters are your fave & What was your inspiration for starting this world? Thank you from a Happy New Fan.

Hi, Shawna! I just now saw this question!
My least-favorite character and my favorite book have the same answer. =) Michael Hollister. I hated him for what he did to Carrie, and I struggled to write his book because of it. However, in the end, I saw who he was and his own struggles.
I tend to love the characters who have the most struggles themselves. So, Michael, Charles Waters, Hart Tanner. To me, when they do find their redemption, it is all the sweeter.
This concept came to me when I was daydreaming one day about things I would do differently in my own life. The thought occurred to me that even if I thought I knew what was coming, I would probably still mess things up. Just like that, Middle Falls was born!

Hi Shawn, I am a big fan of the Middle Falls series, and have listened form Thomas Weaver to Karl Strong with great pleasure. And really like your message at the end of each book on what inspired that particular character and which song you were listening to, is a nice personal touch. I noticed the last two in the series are not on audible, Any chance of that happening in the near future?

I loved your latest installment in the Middle Falls series so much (13) that I bought a paperback to have sent to my grandmother. Mostly because of the dog scenes, which I'm hoping she will enjoy having her heartstrings tugged as much as I had. No question to add here, instead please accept a heap of praise and well wishes to you for a Merry Christmas 2020. In order for this to go through, here is the mark needed: ?

I am listening to the Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver - thanks Audible - and I am really enjoying it so far. Your sense of humour! I love it. Also it is nostalgia-y-fun to roam around '76 with Thomas with 21st Century eyes. However.....why doesn't he just go to the cops?! I don't get it. The fact that I don't understand this is driving me nuts.
