Julie Messerly asked Laura McNeal:

Is there a sequel to Practice House? I would love to know what happened in Aldine's future life, and Clare's. How did Neva end up with the restaurant?

Laura McNeal It isn't something I planned to do since the novel is long now (and was even longer before the final revision!). Sequels are a tricky thing to get right and are so often a disappointment. For me, it's better to stop eating while you still wish you had a little bit more dessert, but that you had these questions--that you wished you had more--is extremely gratifying.
