Hello all,

I'm new to the board and could not find this mentioned elsewhere.

I have been a fan of FPW's work off and on through the years from The Keep and into as many of the RPJ books as my wife and I have been able to get ahold of. Caught up with Reprisal upon reading Dark At the End.

I'm referring to Nook editions of both books and I believe Reprisal is the updated text. This is a glaring continuity problem that I'm hoping FPW or someone here can clear up that is really bothering me.

I will try to limit spoilers.

In Reprisal, Rasalom can "raise" the dead (i.e. Herb Lom) and even worse (i.e. Danny). He can also perform the rather mundane task of driving a sports car.

Now, forward to Dark At the End and Rasalom laments the fact that he has lost the power to animate the dead since his rebirth. He then reveals that he has never learned to drive a car! But mere weeks earlier, he was tooling all around North Carolina in his Maserati.

Is the text on Nook not, in fact, updated or was something missed?

For being the age I am most of my peers look down on me for liking them, but i can't help it. I get their songs stuck in my head. Then i start humming them and it is all over when someone asks me, "Is that Disney?" I sigh and nodded. You do agree that Disney is Awesome no matter you age? If so, which one is you favorite? :llama:

Starting at midnight tonight, get your free copy of my short "Candy" on Amazon. It includes another story, but I can't remember what it is at the moment. amzn.to/yo0ADo

My first Byte column is up. I'm kinda busy, so Jack's channeling me.

I've spent the last few months reading through The Secret History and now I'm on the Reprisal reissue, and.. holy cow this book is amazing.

I won't spoil anything, but it has only been a few months since I (re)read Reborn, but with the bulk of the RJ series I've read since then it's like I've felt the years between the two stories and it's been amazing finding out what's gone on with a certain character.

I can't put it down.

Is the new version of "Nightworld" being released in ebook format? I see that Amazon and Barnes & Noble have the hardcover listed for pre-order for release on May 22 but neither show an ebook version. Any info???

But as the article more than implies, it is highly unlikely to be a film based on Paul's retitled Repairman Jack classic, RAKOSHI.

I'm pretty sure I've heard this show mentioned here before but was unable to find where and the show is kick ass enough to deserve its own thread anyway. I recently finished Season 1 and was mighty impressed. The acting, writing and story are all top notch. Now that I've seen him, I must agree that Timothy Olyphant would make an excellent RJ; he can be charming one second and utterly ruthless the next. I have set my DVR to record the third season which is going to air starting January 17th. I give it my highest recommendation.

Received a heartfelt letter from an 8th grade girl today, ending with: "Also we need to see what happens with Jack and Weezy. I know in the last Repairman Jack novel (spoiler deleted) but what happens before?? And Levi and Saree?? Please write another young Jack book. Please?" To touch a young mind like that is so special, but I had to decline. In case some of you are wondering why no more, here you go:

"Your plea tore me up. You're not alone in wanting more. I'd love to write another teen Jack book (and the publisher would love it too) but I'm limiting it to a trilogy because these stories threaten to cause all sorts of problems in what is known as the continuity of the series. I can't have Jack learning things as a kid that he's not supposed to know till he's an adult. There's a reason for Levi and Saree's powers and I'd love to get into it, but not with Jack around. If I have time, I'll try to work out a series related to those Piney kids, but I've got other books I have to write first. Keep an eye on the newsletter and you'll be he first to know when I get around to it.


Thanks for writing me and for being a loyal reader."
