First of all, I&amp;#39;m delighted you enj...</title><content type='html'>Hi Brett,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I&amp;#39;m delighted you enjoyed the High Risk books.  The Shelter Bay books will intersect with the them, there just won&amp;#39;t be battle scenes and as much suspense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In The Homecoming, out next July, Sax Douchett, Quinn&amp;#39;s spotter returns home to Shelter Bay wanting to put the war and death behind him, only to have his dog dig up a bone on the beach below his house.  So, there&amp;#39;s a murder mystery (actually a couple) to solve and some excitement.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, in the second book, a Marine war photojournalist, who&amp;#39;s not in the High Risk books, but is Sax&amp;#39;s brother&amp;#39;s close friend, comes to town, planning to leave right after Sax&amp;#39;s brother&amp;#39;s wedding.  But an abused dog, a determined veterinarian heroine and a bunch of foster kids provide obstacles to that idea.  This one doesn&amp;#39;t have any bad guy type suspense.  At least not at this time, but that can always change during the writing.  (I&amp;#39;ve just begun it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then future books will include medic Lucas Chaffee and Conn, the mysterious Irishman from Shattered, who owned the yacht they used on their rescue mission.  And now you know just about everything I do about the series.  LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for asking!
