Will there be a sequel to Deception?
Though publishers and readers have asked me to, I’ve never in my previous six novels felt I wanted to go back and use the main characters again as such in a subsequent book. I know it would be easier in some ways, but I’ve felt like each person gets one book on center stage. Ollie Chandler is the first character that has made me feel different about this. When I started Deception I thought this would be it, no more stories centered on Ollie. But once I got inside his head things slowly changed. I thought, I like this guy; I like his quirks, his sense of humor, the gruff exterior and the soft heart, the head-butting toughness and the vulnerability of a lifetime of hurts.
So, depending on the response to Deception (because I’ll find out whether readers like Ollie), Lord willing, there may well be one or more other Ollie stories to come.

I would love it if you did a sequel about Ollie (of course, I really want him to become a believer!).....he is such a fun character. And I loved the way the book was written in first person, especially all the lines that are like they are out of old detective books and movies. I have a friend who is not a believer who I gave the book to read because I knew she would love Ollie as much as I do......it would be great to give her a follow-up book as well. Oh, and I also love Ollie's dog!
I, too, would love one or more books about Ollie.
I read Deception first, then Deadline, and am getting ready to read Dominion. I loved the first two books, and would really like to see the series continued!!!
