Hi--
I'm a huge Ken Bruen fan, too--and I'm lucky enough to be
interviewing him for Dave Zeltserman's HARDLUCK STORIES over
the next few weeks. (It's a slow, lesiurely e-mail
interview.) I'll post when it's up on the site.
There are two more books following THE WHITE TRILOGY--there's
BLITZ and VIXEN, both published by the Do Not Press in the
UK. I think the later books are even sharper and funnier than
the first three.
