They're lots of fun, and the only problem is that I get so into the books I barely could get myself off the page and to bed a couple nights last week. But, hey, it was worth it, and the trilogy ended well. I'm definitely interested in the next book. If I remember right, it seems like the first chapter or two of Offworld, in its early stages, may have been viewed by early Infuze readers, right? Speaking of which, I'm not one for reading much fiction, but I have to say that the only reason I'm reading your books, well, besides the fact that you looked me in the eye at GMA 2006 and said, "You'll buy my book, right Dan?" was that I had already gotten hooked for free online. At first, Fearless was just an entertaining way to pass the time while working at the college computer lab, but by the time it was done, I couldn't wait to hear more. I guess this is just a reminder that people will buy your books if you get them hooked online, and I'm not sure that just the free first chapter would have done it for me. I'm not going to tell Bethany House how to do their marketing job, but I think there's more to be made out of the trilogy by doing some innovative marketing online. And, I agree with you, I like the big hardcover books. The print is nice and big and the book covers look amazing. Ok, enough rambling from me. Robin, first I have to say “Thanks!” for the books so far. They’re lots of fun, and the only problem is that I get so into the books I barely could get myself off the page and to bed a couple nights last week. But, hey, it was worth it, and the trilogy ended well.

I’m definitely interested in the next book. If I remember right, it seems like the first chapter or two of Offworld, in its early stages, may have been viewed by early Infuze readers, right?
