I loved the Alvin Maker series. It seemed like the novels flowed one into the other seamlessly... except for The Crystal City. Now, don't get me wrong, TCC was a GREAT book. Still, it seemed like I missed a book along the way. Alvin's child dies, the expedition with Bowie... all these seem like they'd be covered; they strike me as odd off-stage occurences. This isn't a gripe, though. It's a question. Is there a short story in between Heartfire and TCC? If there isn't, WILL there be one?

*Bows* I am not strong in the Force, Master CRash. I shall learn, if you will teach me.

There will be other short stories inserted here and there. But some events happen, but have no STORY in them, so I skip over them and let the be backstory to other events.
