    Just finished The Last Act – my fourth book written by you. You are fast becoming a favorite.
    I first was exposed to your work when I attended the Lifelong Learning Society’s Writing Workshop at CNU, where you spoke and got a huge endorsement from my dear friend, Doris Gwaltney, who has since passed away. She spoke highly of your work.
    Also, being from Middlesex County and a cousin of Webster and Ellen Brooke, who frequent Hardee’s in Saluda way too much for their health’s sake, I feel compelled to write and ask when we might expect your next work ??? They told me that you and your family have moved to the West Coast ?!?
    Best wishes to you.

    This is neatly helpful.

    Unfortunately, the night gown seems incomplete.

    Is there a continuation?

      Unfortunately not. Chronologically wise it just leads into Faces of the Gone.

    Graeme, you’ve done it again! Just when I was out of authors to try for my now almost 90! year old reading-machine dad, you feature Mr. Parks. Our library system had both his earlier stand alone novels available in large print. Can’t wait to see if they will jolt him out of this Western rut he’s been in.
    Thank you, sir, for this very helpful service!

      Excellent – hope you enjoy! I haven’t read the Carter Ross series at all – just the standalones – so if you read them let me know how they are!
