I’ve been answering questions via individual email, but I figured I could answer them here, too, and then maybe link this blog entry to the book’s page for anybody else with questions. Or for those with questions who don’t want to send me an email.
1. Can I have a signed bookplate?
Yes. Send me your snail mail addy and a signed bookplate for Wild Wild West can be yours.
2. Will there be any more cowboy stories?
Probably. I love men in chaps.
3. Will there be any more stories connected to the first three St. Martin’s books?
At this time, Wild Wild West, Satisfaction Guaranteed and Wicked Hot are all stand-alone. However, there’s always room for a spinoff. Wild Wild West could easily have another story in the same setting, although the same characters, if they returned, would be minor characters. Satisfaction Guaranteed has a good setup for another novel or whatever featuring The Capture Agency. Wicked Hot can either work as standalone or the beginning of more books in a series, depending on how things go. So, the answer is “maybe”.
For all those of you who bought and enjoyed Wild Wild West, thank you, and an extra thanks to those who took the time to write and tell me how much you liked it.
I loved WWW — Reuben is the man 🙂 I could see more stories there easily, though hard to imagine topping Reuben. 🙂
You are good at creating those expandable premises/places… neat. I hadn’t thought of it when I was reading, but it’s a smart thing to do…

Sam, I totally agree! I looooved Reuben, though I think in real life I might want to bash him with a frying pan. LOL.
Really? I would maybe want to do a few things with him, though hitting him with a frying pan wasn’t one of them. 😉
I think it’s because while he was dominant, he was also very caring, and that counts for a lot…

I loved Reuben’s willingness to admit he was wrong and learn from his mistakes. And I loved how blind he was to his own motivations, but once he was faced with his blindspot he didn’t try to duck the truth. Glad I’m not alone in favoring him over the other two. *ggg*
Sam, I do have a tendency to create expandable setups, and I think it’s because I’m more naturally a series writer than standalone book writer.
