Veronica - Don’t be so silly! F. Paul Wilson’s books are all top notch and regardless how far out they may go, they always getcha to thinkin’… Enjoy all of them.

I must sincerely apologize to you. I never really wanted to read your other books, I feared nothing could compare to your Jack. I know that sounds very narrow minded but I had the same problem with Agatha Christie’s books. Loved Hercule Poirot but not Miss Marple. The writing was very different and it bothered me, so I couldn’t read that series.
Guess that leaves many titles I can read after Jack is complete, something to look forward to!

@Veronica - I’ve done other books during the Jack years, like SIMS and MIDNIGHT MASS and THE FIFTH HARMONIC, so it won’t be that hard.

@ Spaz - Well, when I brought Jack back in LEGACIES it was going to be for one book. I had so much fun and it was so well received, that I made him the hero of CONSPIRACIES. And that was even more fun, so I decided to get on that horse and ride.

Very thankful that you continued with Jack! I look forward to a new adventure every year, many times re-reading the previous book before I begin the newly released.
Every page grabs me, holds me fixated until the next and when the end comes, I’m ticked cause I have to wait for the next book!
May I ask, will it be difficult to refocus your thoughts on something/someone new after all these years of just Jack in your head?

I would have to ask what kind of satisfaction (personal and professional) you’ve gotten from the subsequent books. After those fourteen years, were you separated enough from the first novel to feel less resistant to writing the series? I’d have to assume you felt more at home with it as time went on.

Millions of people are glad you gave in to the pressure!
