See your point . I thought the Hillerman Series was alright but I didn’t think it captured his characters as well as it could have . If I’m disappointed that something is a little off a writer must want to chew nails .

I agree, Ed, but as I have said before, I’m not selling the screenrights to the Kate Shugak series unless and until the buyer promises to shoot the series in Alaska. I could have sold them half a dozen times over if I would back down on that. Nope.

I like the idea of t. v. for Kate et. al. but would like to see it on pbs. Maybe the BBC could find a little love for a colonial . Must be a native american or asian martial artist out there who would be a fit .

I know you’ve been keeping Kate busy, and it’s great you have a new love with the Coasties….but please give Liam a little love and find time to flesh out that outline!

I have an outline for a fifth Liam Campbell book. Now all I need is time to write it…and thanks, Kay.

Dana,
I love your books and have read them all except Deeper Sleep which I will get soon. I agree with your fans about putting Kate in a movie. Would be great. Do you plan on writing any more Liam Campbell books? I thought they were great too. Thanks for such good stories.

Too bad you didn’t make it to Killing Grounds, where the payoff to the Play with Fire story comes home to Kate’s roost, but oh well.

The line about Toledo rolling up the sidewalks precisely at ten is from a John Denver song.

I have been thoroughly enjoying the Kate Shugak and Liam Campbell series. I especially enjoyed the cultural and geographical references. When I got to the end of Play With Fire I knew I was done reading your books. It was very uncomfortable for me to read page after page of you grinding your ax against Christians. I tried to get through it, but your venom finally out did me after the 8th chapter. Also, I am, a native of Toledo, Ohio and I like it here. I wonder if you got your information about the streets rolling up at 10pm from the same place you got your information about Christians.

Yessir.

If you really want to find the science fiction novels, try bookfinder.com, alibris.com, or even amazon.com. I’m told that ebay has them sometimes, too, but that can get expensive.

I’ve read your whole list except for the scifi which I can’t find so far. I’m afraid I like character above plot so the thriller was alow point for me. Still very readable. You need to kick Kate’s butt in a new direction to regain that sense of wonder readers get from finding a new creation. I thought Janet Muller did it with her discovery of indian parents,but she backslid. Just don’t stop writing
