Amanda Wussow asked Ben Lyle Bedard:

Do you think you will write more books in the vein of 'World Without Crows?' It was honestly one of my favorite dystopian/post-apocalyptic books written recently. (I still can't believe you couldn't find a publisher and had to self-publish!) I'm a librarian, so I should know good books when I read them. :) Thank you!!

Ben Lyle Bedard Amanda,

Thanks for the comment! I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I just came back from vacation, and I purposefully stayed away from the Internet. . .

It's very flattering to get such praise from a librarian because you do know your stuff! It's heartening too, so I really appreciate the time you took to write to me.

Now, to answer your question: yes, I do plan on writing more books like "World Without Crows." In fact, I'm neck deep in writing the sequel to it, "The World Without Flags." I can't say too much about it yet, but it takes place ten years after the events of the first book. It's different from the first book, but it follows the same characters as they deal with a very different world than the first book. I don't know how much more time it will take me to write it, but I'm hoping I will finish before 2020.

Thanks again for your comment!
