I’ll even bring the S’mores.
I know that some people will want to know whether there will be a third book in the Survivor Journals, or not. The short answer: I hope there will be. I will have to let readership speak to that. If there is enough demand, I have more stories to tell. I have the third book mostly outlined in my head. I would like this series to be a trilogy, at least. If Long Empty Roads does not find readers as well as its predecessor did and things end with this book, I shall be at peace with it, though. I have greatly enjoyed this venture, and I have grown to enjoy very much writing from Twist’s point-of-view. If you want more, please, please, please—tell friends, write and post reviews, and make unreasonable demands of your local libraries and bookstores to carry this book. It will help more than you think, and I will be grateful.

About the Author
Sean Patrick Little lives in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. He writes a lot. He watches too much TV. He plays guitar and bass badly. He has two cats that annoy him a lot. He has a dog, a walleyed, big-eared Heeler/Corgi mix, who demands constant belly rubs. He has a wife and a child.
That child has recently become a teenager.
Please send help.
You can follow Sean on Goodreads, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook if you are interested in keeping up with his upcoming projects. He is not hard to find.
He’s not terribly exciting, but he enjoys the attention all the same. Since he had to give up eating wheat and sugar, tiny rations of attention is all that keeps him going anymore.

Publisher’s Note
The world of publishing grows more and more competitive every year. It is harder and harder for small press and independent books to compete in a crowded marketplace. There is a mountain of books published annually and only so many readers and so many hours in a day—not to mention the almost insurmountable competition from all the various electronic screens that beg for attention.
If you enjoyed this book, please help spread the word about it. Tell all your friends. If they buy copies and like it, ask them to tell their friends, and their friends’ friends, and so on. Word of mouth is always the best sales tool.
If you are a creative type, doing things like posting fan art on social media, participating in message boards and plugging the book, doing cosplay and posting photos, or making models of things in the book is greatly appreciated. Use hashtags to make sure people know where the inspiration for the image originated and to what it relates. Anything that extends the reach and audience of the book is always a positive and always appreciated. Support the things you enjoy.
To further aid the cause, you can politely ask your local library to purchase a copy and ask your local bookstores to carry it, as well. Every little bit helps.
If you enjoyed this book, please leave a kind review on major websites like Amazon or Goodreads, or any of your other favorite book retailers. Link to the book on your Facebook pages or Twitter accounts. Good, honest reviews help more than you know, and we truly appreciate every review. The more positive reviews the book gets, the farther the reach of the book spreads.
If you have a bookstore or work in a library and want one of our authors to speak, or you would like to host a signing, please let us know. If we can make it happen, we will.
And if you really enjoyed this book, please let the author know. A kind word is sometimes the jolt a writer needs to keep working. That goes for any book you’ve enjoyed, ever. Most writers are on Twitter nowadays. Or they have email addresses or some other way to contact them. If you send them a message, they will see it. They might not reply, but they will be grateful.
You should probably also do the same things for anyone important in your life in general: your grandmother or grandfather, your parents, a favorite teacher, a friend that has been there for you—it really doesn’t matter: If someone has done something that you have appreciated, please let them know.
Spread some positivity in this world. It will do you, and others, more good than you might know.
With sincere gratitude,
