Exciting stuff, and great pictures!
Howdy Al,
I was ust wondering if there's a umber 7 coming out. I've loved all 6 of the Distant cousin books.
Congrats on selling the right to an agent. I hope he's able to make something good happen.

Hi there, Bob! Good to hear from you. Yes, there will be a volume seven--it's now five or six chapters along. The matter of a TV series also has promise: a producer/writer is looking at them now and realizing the possibilities readers have noted for years. I agree with both parties. There is plenty in the six, soon to be seven, stories, to fuel a wonderful series of characters and adventures. There's also a lot that may not translate easily: the family intimacy and the food, for example. But whatever, everything continues to be available to readers for much less than the price of a movie ticket. Lately, some fans have been rereading them!
Best wishes, Bob!
