I'm an Army brat who has lived in Virginia most of my adult life. I received my BA and MA in history from the College of William and Mary and taught American history and museum studies at Virginia Commonwealth University for thirteen years. I am the author of 200 magazine articles, most on history, travel, and business topics, 12 nonfiction books, and 9 historical mysteries set in the Roaring Twenties. When I'm not writing, I'm probably at Valley Road Vineyard, our winery in the mountains of Virginia where everything we do would have been illegal in the 1920s. ...more

Hi Reacherfan. I only just discovered your question (of 3 months ago). My apologies for the long time--you've probably forgotten all about it!
But in any case, I couldn't have given a definitive answer much earlier than this. I only learned last month that book #3, RENTING SILENCE, will be out this summer. Still no firm date, but we're moving ahead. The publisher also said #4 would be released 6 months after #3. Both are ready to go. Renting SILENCE is about blackmail and murder. Here's the tag line I hope they'll use: "You don't buy silence, you only rent it. And the rent keeps going up." (less)

Excuse the tardy response . . . I only just discovered your question a few minutes ago on Goodreads, which is a site I seldom frequent. The short answer is Not Likely. I did start #5 but let it drift while I worked on some new things. I decided to finish it only if THE IMPERSONATOR was made into a TV series, which hasn't happened yet. Hollywood producers optioned the book a couple of years ago, wrote a pilot, and have tried to sell the concept but the pandemic pretty much knocked out any chance of that. Writing #5 is rather unlikely at this point.
My new, as yet untitled, series is set in Chicago in 1924. I'm revising the first book now and can't say when the publisher will bring it out. Maybe next year? I hope you will like it!(less)
