![]() ![]() ![]() I have given this a lot of thought, to the point that I have considered writing a combined popular culture and reader-response study of the rise of the sequel as a driving force in commercial fiction, and then I have to remind myself, ***wait***, English PhD candidate/writing instructor/English professor wanna-be was two jobs ago. But these comments also make me sad because I am not delivering what readers say they want. They mean readers enjoyed the first book so much, they want it to continue. And it breaks my heart because the answer is still no. ![]() For The Boys Next Door/Endless Summer, the reader writes back, “PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE,” which is funny. For most of my books, I do not hear back from the reader again. In fact, of all the e-mail and other social media contacts I receive, I would say 75% of it contains a request for a sequel to at least one of my books. Love Story is out and, as I predicted, I have been flooded with e-mail asking for a sequel. ![]()
