I wish (and I'm old enough to know that wishes don't make it so ) that I could in some way convince this writer to add stories for Scott and Texas and Island Mine. My feeling are this writer has a huge amount of talent.

Couldn't agree with you more. I'd actually started outlining a plot to a sequel to Human Man, and potentially one to Island Mine, but, not only do I not know the rules about continuing another author's story-line, I'm also bothered by the ethics of it. And of course, though continuations can be begged for, they can't be compelled. Finding one's muse is hard enough without that.
I can't call them to mind now, but I know there are instances where possible authors have discussed a follow-on book with the original author, mainly to get acceptance and if there was anything specific the original author had as to direction, actions, etc.
I agree, anyone who reads the last chapter of "Island Mine" can see that it begs for a sequel. I hope you get permission and you or someone will continue this great story since the author, Refusenik, seems to have disappeared.
If I remember his comment correctly, he backed off on writing due to needing to focus more on his work. It might be in noted on his author's page here, however I didn't check
After 11+ years, it doesn't look like he is doing anymore writing. He does not have a blog on his page.
Excellent. Thanks for the find.
Edit: interesting - his book Guardians is the same as Guardian by Ka Hmnd…. Now I'm starting to question if this is actually the author or a rip-off artist… it does not appear that his other two books "Human Man" and "Island Mine" are on the big river…
Edit 2: doesn't big river require you to remove copies from web before publishing?
I see Human Phoenix is there... though the blurb seems to be emphasising the detective rather than the MC I remember from here. Is he/she/they Refusenik or someone who has stolen his (and others) work? In the latter case I don't want to reward them by buying the book, even using KU.
I sampled a couple of the other titles there, and thought they were a different style; but, what do I know, I went to engineering school.
