I absolutely loved all four books. I chugged them down as fast as I could get a hold of them. That you are adding a fifth book, albeit from another character's perspective, is fantastic. Thank you so much for the fun. With that said, however, would you consider writing another Steve/Flo perspective book? I would love to see how Hell endures Steve as a saved soul.

Mark Cain Derek, I'm glad you enjoyed the books. As you know, the four together tell a fairly complete story from Steve's perspective. My original intent was to only write the four, but there are so many people who would like the series to continue that I'm going to make the attempt. If I stay with Steve the entire time, though, I'm afraid I'll run out of ideas. My plan at this moment is to tell the back story to the CIRCLES IN HELL universe through Beezy's perspective in book five but in book six come back to Steve. There should be some interesting opportunities to play with as Steve assumes a new role in Hell. I will not remain exclusively with him, though -- if I keep on chugging on these books -- although he's likely to show up as a character in someone else's story, like, say Uphir's (ugh, well maybe not). There are many other possibilities for narrators, some old, some new.

The main thing is for me to keep the books fresh, fun, funny and entertaining for the readers, and of course for the stories to sell. If I can accomplish those goals, and still have a good time in the process, I'll keep going.

Look for book five sometime in the fall. Hmm. I'd better get it in gear.

Mark
