You can't hang onto all the characters from all your books in the same intense way as when you're writing the book ... I will say that Jesse, and all the characters in "GS," and the Civil War Missouri era are the subjects that still hold the most attraction to me, and when I get a chance to start writing about them again I imagine it will rekindle those intense feelings. <BR/><BR/>- PatPat Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847249442827358318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-56225719556663678042008-03-28T18:45:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:45:00.000-05:00Shoe Lace -Good question.

Just very important for me to get this story out into the world, send it on its way and see what it would make of itself! <BR/><BR/>- PatPat Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847249442827358318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-82490608537296043272008-03-28T18:42:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:42:00.000-05:00G1Bean - Thanks for letting me know your thoughts ...G1Bean - <BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me know your thoughts about the ending!

There are many books that put Jesse James as the main character, but not many that have him as the secondary character. I thought it would be interesting to tell the story of Jesse's life before he became an outlaw, and to tell it from the point of view of his best friend, who saw him not as someone who would be famous some day, but just another kid like him. <BR/><BR/>- PatPat Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847249442827358318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-64984208876325388862008-03-28T18:37:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:37:00.000-05:00Lucky 101 - My ideas for more books in this series...Lucky 101 - <BR/><BR/>My ideas for more books in this series are "Growing Season," which follows Matt through the rest of the war; "Killing Season," which follows Jesse through the rest of the war; and "Harvest Season," which is told from the point of view of Tyler, 12 years after "Guerrilla Season" ends, when Tyler is 13.<BR/><BR/>- PatPat Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847249442827358318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-7862539487851707382008-03-28T18:34:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:34:00.000-05:00To G6Puma12 - Hmm ...
