<p>Robert Here,</p><p>Thank you for reading The Night Child. I had always intended the 'My Girlfriend the Vampire' storyline to be a three-book series that didn't take forever to come to fruition. But sometimes, as they say, life happens.</p><p>Turns out, the move from the cool, breezy environs of New Hampshire to the torrid, sweltering, stifling, scorching piece of Earth known as Texas did not synergize with a devotion to writing, Who knew?</p><p>On top of that, I had a life crisis that would make Conner and Lyria proud — namely, heart surgery in December of 2021. I made it through the operation ok, only to discover, much to my surprise, that the recovery from said procedure was almost as taxing as the surgery itself.</p><p>I have a few more reasons/excuses for the length of time between books, but a thriller writer should endeavor to never bore his or her audience, right?</p><p>Despite the tectonic-plate speed with which the books were published, I had a lot of fun with my characters and stories, and I truly hope you have enjoyed going along for the ride.</p><p>As for moving forward, I expect that most of my time will be spent fending off the Texas heat, chasing our grandchildren around, and pondering the next steps in my storytelling future.</p><p>Thanks again, and continued happy reading!</p>
