Very pleased that you enjoyed the book and found the locked room puzzle rewarding. You could probably tell that we had a lot of fun researching and writing it, the more so because it's a considerable departure in style and tone from the Sharon McCone and Nameless novels which by their nature are more difficult to construct. We've delivered the second Carpenter and Quincannon, <i>The Spook Lights Affair</i>, which features a pair of linked impossibles and is expected to see print around this time next year, and are about to begin work on a third. We'd like to continue the series beyond #3, and will if sales are strong enough to entice Tor/Forge into giving us another contract. The bughouse Sherlock, incidentally, plays a much reduced role in <i>Spook Lights</i>, though he does supply a key clue to the solution of the crimes; our intention is to include him in each novel, but we don't want him to become a focal point of the series. There are more than enough SH pastiches being published these days."Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
