I’ve always thought of Superego as a “brilliant experiment” that succeeded. So of course, I’m going to vote for more, though I don’t know how you can keep it up! I guess that’s a great reason to buy your books and give you money! Gotta love the free market.
I bought all your books and will take anything you want to put out. If forced to rank them (to approximate what I hope you're working on at any given moment), I'd say Hellbender was what I'm looking forward to most--it's refreshingly snappy, like the perfect drink on a hot day. Superego is probably second; it feels like a AAA title and the series most likely appealing to the widest audience. I want more, but slightly less than Hellbender. As for Sidequest, I really thoroughly enjoyed it, and to some extent it felt the most geared towards me (as a dude of a certain age and the kind of person who loves RPG games and happily watched all the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons episodes as they came out once upon a Saturday morning in the `80s--I *still* want one of those bows!) But it's tougher to recommend to friends because I feel like it's more taste-specific (i.e., nerdy). But again, I love it. I would hope putting out a short story for free would be a risk-free introduction for new potential fans. But if I were your marketing director, I'd say put Superego (2015) out for free or reduced (like $2), and see if you can't get people hooked like the button-pushing crack monkey I have become. In any case, I hope your novels are profitable because I love them and (like Billy Idol) want, more, more, more!
I'm glad your favorite is Hellbender, as I thought that was going to be a niche one but I wanted to do lots of sequels to it (I'm working on the first sequel now). And I'll probably put the first Superego on sale when the third one comes out and play around with the pricing when all four books are out (completing the story arc).
I'd be kind of interested in a poll on what is people's favorite series of mine, as right now it seems pretty spread between Superego, Sidequest, and Hellbender. And don't worry, my novels right now make enough to motivate me to write more.

Glad you enjoyed Superego! I'm hoping to keep the quality for a couple more books.
Heh ... think I'm getting older, Frank. Can't quite keep up with Hellbender. SE certainly tracks well!
