Quote:I'm looking at maybe 4 more adult novels before Nightworld. The YAs won't have a direct effect on the main storyline, but some characters will overlap.
I made myself laugh out loud at the idea of a young (and only mildly portly) Abe operating out of a secret area at the back of the school gym.

My daughter loves these books. She got me into them, cause I like to know what my kid is interested in.
You're right, very dark humor but really good stories.
Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I.. walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library line up to the mind cemetary now...What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'. They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em. While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells...Rally round the family, pockets full of shells.

Unless your initials are JK or your first name Lemony, the YA market pays considerably less than what I get for adult novels. But I feel if I pass on the offer I will regret it later. I want to do these books. I need to do them. The stories are sitting in my head. I simply have to put them on paper. (“Simply” – hah!)[/SIZE]Hi Paul, my daughter is 10, an avid reader, will these be suitable for her age group?
