Gwen (an Interview)
Western Pennsylvania offers a serene setting in the fall. Mild temperatures and brisk winds bring with them shorter, but cooler days. The small town of New Engburgh is picturesque enough to bespeak of the Pennsylvania of old, yet sprinkled with enough modern touches thanks to the evolution of the local college.

Thank you, Vicki.These fantasy interviews are a lot of fun to do, although now I'm getting questions like "So, where does Gwen live?"
They're beginning to think she is real. And in the name of intrigue... is she? ;)
Oh no you don't!!! Another teaser?? Lol You are rotten to the core. (I love it!) Lol I actually have wondered about that...just GREAT!
Have a wonderful day thinking of more ways to torture your readers! Lol
The interview is absolutely brilliant! What a unique way to give the reader an insight into Gwen's character. She also gives us more understanding of Sam, and you KNOW I love Sam!
Teasing us with the cover's identity AGAIN? Now that's just wrong! LOL We the readers want a definitive answer, but you the author won't give us that satisfaction, huh?
Hold your ground, Javier. "The Lady, or the Tiger" written by Frank R. Stockton in 1882 has an ambiguous ending. I LOVE this short story for teaching ambiguity to my freshmen. It drives them absolutely nuts not to know what happens. HUNDREDS of readers "demanded" (as I know some of your readers have) that he give them an answer as to what happens. He did finally respond to his readers by saying, "If you decide which it was, the lady, or the tiger, you find out what kind of a person you are yourself."
Mystery intrigues people, debating (whose eyes/face are on the cover) keeps people talking about the cover/book, and curiosity did NOT kill the cat, rather it kept the cat on the prowl to find out what it wanted to know. People will keep talking about the cover, just as people to this DAY are questioning Stockton's ending. It's still a mystery. :o)
I am VERY (no pressure LOL) excited to hear more about Sam, Lewis, Gwen, Tony, the girls, and to see where their lives will take them next. I'll be among the first (if not THE first) to read your next sequel.
Perhaps we (your fans, or at least I) should go to London with you to help you unfold the next twist in their lives...I'm wondering if you are going to jump a few years ahead and develop the girls?
The interview gave me a whole new excitement for whatever my favorite characters have for me next. :o)
