I'm working hard on the second book - but it's always a scary prospect - will the next book be as good as the first one? Always a scary prospect for an author.

I could hardly put down NIGHT WATCH and thought it was an excellent read. I really look forward to reading the Bitter End.<br /><br />This was a great interview. I enjoy learning more about the authors of stories I really enjoyed reading. The author's knowledge of sailing is obvious in EM, who came across to me as a believable character, who is a bit vulnerable, somewhat cautious, but determined to find answers, whenever the need arises. I agree with the author's statement that EM is brave, but does not feel brave. That was one perception I had of the character while reading the book. EM, is one of those characters you look forward to reading again because you want her life to turn out well, but you know her journey will entail many challenges, both physically and emotionally. If the second book is as good as the first one in this series, I will be hooked for the duration and Linda Hall will be added to my list of favorite authors, along with Michael Connelly, Steve Martini, John Grisham, J.A. Jance, and Jeffery Archer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867961805086166696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4285327832119375741.post-3737719095229513972015-01-26T10:21:04.926-05:002015-01-26T10:21:04.926-05:00Thank you so much, Deb!

NIGHT WATCH is a great story; as a drylander, I am so moved by the way you immerse me as a reader in the culture of the sea. The plot is gripping, and I can't wait for your next novel in the series!
