PAPERBACK EDITIONS OF KIN & OTHERS...

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Though it caused me two sleepless nights of frenzied reading, KIN is amazing! I'm telling all my friends to read this now, really enjoyed it a great deal, please write more!

Thanks Tommy! I appreciate that!

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Loved Kin. Took longer than planned to finished since I took a whole month off from reading for the most part when I was doing NaNo, but finished it earlier this year. I actually switched from reading my ARC to my signed HC as I gifted the ARC to my now brother-in-law for Christmas.

That's great, RJ! Thanks for passing it along!

I'm actually at work on a sequel as we speak...

[srboone]

A sequel??? Oustanding KPB!!! Looking forward to it!

[Martin]

A sequel to Kin! That is some of the best news I have heard in a while.

[Tommy]

Wow! I was really hoping you would do a sequel for that, great news

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Thanks guys!

I won't give too much away this early, but I can tell you that it picks up some time after Kin, and focuses on Chester "Beau" Beaumont, addicted to painkillers and given to frequent hallucinations of his deceased friend Finch, after barely escaping Hood Mountain with his life. He is hired by Kara Lambert to find her sister Claire, whose psychological issues have only deepened in the years since the Elkwood Incident, leading to a conviction that she has found the whereabouts of Luke Merrill, the only surviving member of the Merrill clan. Claire believes that the only way to get her life, and her sanity back, is to confront Luke and kill him. As his chemical dependency worsens and the line between real and unreal begins to blur, Beau's efforts to find Claire takes him back to Elkwood and Hood Mountain, and on to Florida, to Durance, a rural community maddened and yet thriving on the production of crystal meth. There he will unravel secrets and fight to survive the darkness that almost claimed him once and may already have claimed Claire.

Wow! Sounds great. Can't, but wait I must...and will.

That is awesome news. Hope CD gets to do the limited.

[Tommy]

Sounds awesome and almost like you've taken a tour of my home state of South Carolina, which by the way would make a great cameo location in the sequel, plenty of meth-addicted, murderous rednecks lurking in the woods around these parts, just saying

A lot of rural areas are like that these days, it seems. As research for the new novel I recently read Nick Reding's Methland, and it was a hell of an eye-opener.

[Tommy]

sadly, I could probably right a part 2 to Methland without ever having read it, just when I thought drugs couldn't get any scarier, bath salts start making the rounds and people start getting their faces chewed off, great fodder for horror stories but not so great in real life, but anyway, can't wait for your sequel and I hope you publish through Cemetery Dance cause they are great!

[Tommy]

Just ordered Ravenous Ghosts, Stage Whispers and The Number 121 to Pennsylvania and Others, I am going to be well-versed in the Word of Burke!

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

You're a gent. Thanks Tommy and I hope you enjoy them!

The worse an economy gets, the more viable drugs become as a profitable industry. It has actually saved rural communities from destruction, albeit seeding long term destruction of another kind.
