Debbie Farley asked Henderson Smith:

I do hope you will finish the sequel to "The Ugly Princess." I enjoyed the book and want to share it with my grandchildren, especially my granddaughter. Do you have an expected release date for the book?

Henderson Smith Hi Debbie, I'm so glad you enjoyed The Ugly Princess. I'd love to ask you a question since you mentioned your granddaughter. In this book, Betrayed by Beauty, Olive is up against her nemesis, Cassandra Dragon Slayer - an evil witch who has lived for 500 years and is the worst of all the world offers. You see, I want to take Olive into the world, which is not a nice place, unfortunately. Now, the character of Olive doesn't change in this book, nor her love for Bart BUT Cassandra is not Olive and is evil and rotten. I would rate this sequel PG-13, while The Ugly Princess is definitely PG. Would you find that offensive? Since Olive is now 18, I just thought her world would now be a more accurate reflection of the world she now finds herself. I'd love to hear your opinion. Thanks so much for asking about the sequel, Henderson
