There are four books? The third is going to arrive in my mailbox any day (I couldn't wait until it came out in paperback), and now I find there is another? Oh the torture of having wait even longer.

And yes: kudos to all those beta readers out there. What would we do without them?

Turned out to be four--but I promise, that's IT!

After three books, it's a series.

Anything other than that, and we will be dragged down into the maelstrom of invented words. . . .
