    Thanks, Troy. I'm still in JUSTIFIED withdrawals, how about you?

    This is so terrific - but I'll be the selfish one and ask when do we get to see the next adventure, because I'm going through J.W. withdrawls! (On top of my Justified shakes).

    Thanks Courtney and David. Court, the next Josiah Wolfe, THE COUGAR'S PREY, comes out in October. I'm finishing up #5 now, so I expect that it will be out next summer some time.
