I've been reading your e-books for years. Thanks for the heads-up on what I should look out for next.<br /><br />I do like that the antagonists have their own motivations and are not just foils. For the Westerns, the terrain descriptions also add color, although I'd like more of the unique wildlife that is in the area, even the lowly pika (rock rabbit/mountain coney).<br /><br />Oh, and I not only got the 'skip pages' issue on the web reader, but also it would occasionally skip/miss paragraphs when turning a page (maybe the desktop reader app was so excited that it was turning the pages as fast as it could). The solution for me, oddly enough, was to run it full screen/maximized on the desktop.Hamstermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390496389754050944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-54926412734311874242022-02-01T19:09:26.282-06:002022-02-01T19:09:26.282-06:00@Tsgt Joe: No, you can get the new editions when ...@Tsgt Joe: No, you can get the new editions when they're out. Simply go to your Amazon "content and devices" settings, and update the books in question. Give it a couple of weeks after the re-publication, and your copies should reflect the changes.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-6127646337879232002022-02-01T17:59:05.909-06:002022-02-01T17:59:05.909-06:00I have your first 3 maxwell on nook, Then I went a...I have your first 3 maxwell on nook, Then I went ahead an recently got them on kindle, for some reason I thought they were re edited. Well, if you are doing a major rewrite, I guess I’m on the hook for them. Your work is always appreciated.

Just a mouse click on he "abuse" button is an additional vote to have such garbage removed. <br />Does that reviewer not have the slightest clue how this all works for Ghod's sake?Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-28533303356427854172022-02-01T04:38:41.837-06:002022-02-01T04:38:41.837-06:00@Unknown: You may be right about the "wokeyn...@Unknown: You may be right about the "wokeyness".<br /><br />As for the "Cochrane's Company" trilogy: yes, I had plans for a follow-up trilogy set several years later, but oddly enough that trilogy has not sold very well. There seems to be much greater demand for more Maxwell, Ames, and of course the new Western series. I have the outline for "Cochrane 2" on the back burner, but it'll have to wait until I can spare attention from the series that are making money for me.<br /><br />As for the last fantasy book, "Taghri's Prize", yes, I have a couple more planned as follow-on volumes: but the same principle applies. My fantasy books haven't sold as well as my bread-and-butter series, and I rely on my writing to put food on the table. Therefore, I have to write what my readers want most.<br /><br />There's also the factor of time, of course. I can only write so fast! :-)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-72125466585911406642022-02-01T03:14:07.956-06:002022-02-01T03:14:07.956-06:00First loved your book and left review.

People are crazy and its getting worse. Once saw a one star review because a bomb sniffing dog died when it fond the bomb. Said stop reading. Seemed she had no problem with the dozen of people killed. Plus there were many other part with death before??? The dog maybe had few dozen pages about him. Was a minor character. Last any plane on adding to your mercenaries trilogy, or you last fantasy book. The Trilogy or your western are my favorite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225789083291664541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59899230780076166172022-01-31T19:39:23.627-06:002022-01-31T19:39:23.627-06:00Glad to hear you're making progress.
