It means a lot coming from you. And I am writing fast (a creative tsunami!), currently working on #4, "Nightmareland." If readers like the books, I'd love to keep this series going. As you may know, each story is totally different -- new characters, new setting. And as the series expands, I'm eager to explore new sub-genres. Not just "horror" or old-fashioned ghost stories, but also "thriller," "sci-fi," maybe even (scary) historic fiction. The idea is to keep working on a broad canvas, yet always delivering on the SCARY TALES promise of an exciting, entertaining reading experience with twists and turns and chills along the way.
