You're not the first to question this. I was trying for irony. Sometimes you can get too cute for you're own good.
fpw Wrote:Yes. I like to give my regular readers a tip of the hat now and then. The house in THA appears in Reprisal (part of the Adversary Cycle). Hopefully the regulars got an extra chill when they made the connection. The stones that line the basement come from another novel.
Welcome, Scrabby

scrabby23 Wrote:one thing that stuck out with me, even though i was a new reader was that when Jack was interviewing the real estate agent Kristadoulou, he mentioned looking for anagrams for this sal roma guy. and then 2 pages later, as the history of the house unfolds. SARA LOM is mentioned. An OBVIOUS anagram of Sal Roma, yet Jack doesnt make this connection and the wilson fails to mention anything signifigant about this either.

Im not familiar with FPWs style yet, is this just sorta like an inside joke between author and reader?? and it was kinda disappointing cuz Jack seems so sharp about everything yet he missed something that obvious..oh well maybe this is a stupid comment but as a first time reader i was very curious as to the motive behind this.----jason :confused: :confused:

I just finished The Haunted Air (excellent) and have read all of the RJ books (all excellent, actually) so I felt inclined to come to the website. Here F. Paul Wison himself said that there will never be a book after Nightworld because that would be too horrible to fathom, yet, if I remember correctly, at the end of Nightworld, Rasalom is defeated? AM I missing something?Hi, Bryan.

I don't remember him ever saying that it would be horrible to fathom (unless he meant writing it ). He has merely stated that he has no intentions of dealing with that world. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Paul?
