I’m pleased to say that I am well into the third book in the Jason Audley series. I don’t know if I will go much past book 3 in the series, but I am sure enjoying this third project. I don’t want to give much away, but I will say this: We pick up Jason’s life about 10 years after the conclusion of “Winter Lake”. He is with someone he met in that book and his life almost appears to be settled. But, of course, it’s not. Be ready for more unusual characters to enter his life and more of Jason’s eternal struggle with the wheel of fate. This book is still untitled. I expect to complete the first draft by the end of the year and I’m hopeful for publication next summer.

I am always writing, at least in my mind. The hard part is to find all the time I need to actually record was rattling around in my brain. With school starting, and teaching to do, and all that goes with that, writing time becomes more scarce. But I will find it somewhere.

In the meantime, it’s always great to hear from people. If you have any ideas for book club questions for either “The Skeleton Train” or “Winter Lake”, feel free to send them my way, with my thanks. You can always e-mail me at craig.hansen@metrostate.edu.
