Sheriff Rhodes Marches On
The next Sheriff Dan Rhodes novel, A Mammoth Murder, will be out next March. Yesterday I signed and mailed a contract for two more (untitled) books in the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series. If all goes as planned, this means that there will be Rhodes books in 2007 and 2008. After 2008, however, all bets are off. The sheriff and I will be pretty old guys by then, and readers might be tired of us. Publishers might be tired of us, too. So I'm not going to look that far ahead. I'll just try to get these two books done and see what happens.

Congatulations on the book contract. Clearly, a three book deal will keep you busy and out of trouble. I'd keep taking the money as long as they keep offering it to you.

Excellent news Bill! I think I'll take Sheriff Dan on vacation to Yosemite.
Bully for you, Bill.
Huzzah! Congratulations, Bill!
Congrats, Bill!
Excellent news, Bill. Congrats! But what's this about being too old? Didn't you hear about the next major mystery trend: geezer noir?
Hey Bill, I don't want to hear any of this "too old" crapola. We want more of the Sheriff and you better keep giving it to us, or else!
Anyway, congrats.
I just pre-ordered your new book on Amazon. Looking forward to spending time with Dan. Hope you will also be sharing more adventures with us of Carl, Sally, Scott and Bogart, and maybe even Truman! Thanks!
Thanks, Dwyline. If I had more readers like you, I'd probably be doing some more of those books!
