I have really enjoyed the Gordath Wood series. Is there going to be a book 4?

There will be a Book 4 — however, right now it is on the back burner. I have an exciting new series on the way. I have not forgotten Book 4 and it will be a fitting closure to the series. Thanks for asking!

Hey Stephen! Let’s talk — reach out to me on my contact page, and we can connect there. I do believe we are related and I can connect you with my sister who is the family ancestry guru.
