Bill,

This is very weird - I just finished #3 and am four chapters into #4! Your
message is timely.

My boys insisted I read the books so I started and immediately was hooked.
Unfortunately, I have been doing less practicing than I should have
been..........good that #5 won't be out for awhile!

best wishes,
Roger Garrett
