Robert Here,

Thank you for reading The Night Child. I had always intended the 'My Girlfriend the Vampire' storyline to be a three-book series that didn't take forever to come to fruition. But sometimes, as they say, life happens.

Turns out, the move from the cool, breezy environs of New Hampshire to the torrid, sweltering, stifling, scorching piece of Earth known as Texas did not synergize with a devotion to writing, Who knew?

On top of that, I had a life crisis that would make Conner and Lyria proud — namely, heart surgery in December of 2021. I made it through the operation ok, only to discover, much to my surprise, that the recovery from said procedure was almost as taxing as the surgery itself.

I have a few more reasons/excuses for the length of time between books, but a thriller writer should endeavor to never bore his or her audience, right?

Despite the tectonic-plate speed with which the books were published, I had a lot of fun with my characters and stories, and I truly hope you have enjoyed going along for the ride.

As for moving forward, I expect that most of my time will be spent fending off the Texas heat, chasing our grandchildren around, and pondering the next steps in my storytelling future.

Thanks again, and continued happy reading!
