Blake,
A friend gave me Other People’s Hero which I enjoyed tremendously. Did you write a sequel or sister story to that?
Bob McCrea
I have done a rough draft of a sequel, but there’s a lot of work left to do before it’s ready to see print. But there are some other Siegel City tales available — if you go to the “fiction from the realms” page, look at the Christmas story “Lonely Miracle.” Also, I’m working on a Halloween story featuring some of the characters to debut right here at the end of the month.
And keep coming back here. I’ve got some major OPH-related news that I’m itching to talk about, but I can’t just yet.
Thanks for dropping by!
