I'm reading, The field guide to the North American Teenager, and am enjoying it very much. Since the story is set in Austin, Texas I was wondering, have you ever lived in Austin?
Ben Philippe
Hi, Dawn. Thanks for the kind words!
I lived in Austin for 3 years and produced roughly 200 gallons of sweat in that time. My apartment's AC was kept at 68 degrees the entire time. There are many things I've learned to love about the 512 (the comedy scene, Chicken $#*! Bingo, Alamo Drafthouses) but the weather isn't one of them. :)

Hey Ben! It’s been a few years, man. What are our thoughts on a sequel? Getting to hear the perspective of Norris Kaplan as he figured out- like most teenagers do- that the world doesn’t revolve around him was beyond insightful and interesting. I believe hearing your ideas from other characters views, from where they were left off would fuel the theme of learning and growing as teens. Enjoyed your writing very much!

is there any progress on possibly a sequel to the first book of The Field Guide to the North American Teenager, cause the first one was amazing. I like the idea of doing one about Maddie and have Nor as a supporting character and go from where it left off that would be a great story in my eyes?
