You know the surge of joy and adrenaline that you get when you see one of your favorite authors has a new book? Well I got it when I saw "Reckoning at the Riviera Royale" - but what surprised me was that it was even better than the earlier books! I love the way the dialogue bounces along with me trying to keep up - like trying to chase the proverbial Gloucestershire Cheese! Please tell me another's on the way?

I do know that feeling and it’s only surpassed by the very idea that I might inspire it in another reader — I really appreciate the kind words, Mike. I also appreciate the delightful comparison to cheese rolling and, for that matter, cheese rolling itself — there just has to be a plot device in that, hasn’t there?
Yes — another Anty adventure is well in hand. In fact, I’m writing this note in the short period between finishing the outline for book six, about two minutes ago, and beginning the actual writing, about two minutes from now.

How much research do you do to keep these books in their historical period? I really enjoy that Anty is definitely a 1920's British person and I even have to look up some of the references as I am an American and not familiar with some sayings. After reading the first 3 books, I am looking forward to the 4th and hope for many more.

I'm on the second book, and really enjoying it, but I noticed that you misspelled Allan Quatermain's name. Has anyone else pointed that out? (Hundred's I'd guess, but I'm a huge Quatermain fan, even have a cat named after him, so I was quick to notice.) Again, though, I'm loving this series and so glad there are eight books to read!
