On this website’s Message from Leo tab I often find
myself replying to questions from readers. Most recently I’ve been asked
if there is anything new in the pipeline. Because my latest books have
taken a different direction from the past, I’ve received a number of
questions about the Marnie Walker series. Has that series run its
course? Have we heard the last of Marnie, Ralph, Anne (with an ‘e’) and
Donovan? Am I in fact still writing at all?
Let me assure readers that I am continuously
writing virtually every day. This has been an essential part of my life
for over twenty years. So far there have been thirteen Marnie Walker
novels, plus the pre-Christmas gift short stories for members of my
mailing list. I hope to continue producing fiction based on those
characters for a while to come. No writer ever quite knows how long a
series might endure, but I travel in hope.
I have also been asked if there may be any further
stories based on Rupert and Rachel Bradley in the ‘Apostle’ series. To
be honest, I thought I had said all I wanted to say on the subjects that
embroiled Rupert and, in a different way, his wife. Now I’m not so sure.
We shall see.
It goes without saying that I am really grateful
for the interest shown by readers in the stories that have motivated me
for so long. If they are of interest to you, I’ll be delighted for you
to join me on the ride, even if I’m not always sure where we might be
heading. But that’s the fun of it all.
As always, I wish you …
Happy reading!
