Shelley Sackier answered Michelle Uduebor's question: It's 2024 and I am really intrigued in The Freemason Daughter is there a slight chance that you will make an epilogue or are writing another book 2? Please reply soon! Book 2 is all finished! Alas, it will take the publisher (Harper Collins Teen) some convincing that enough readers want the sequel. I leave it to you, friend, but I'm so grateful you found it a worthy spend of your time. Cheers and thank you!
