Allie and Bea was the first book i read written by you... i loved it. i could not put it down, i will be reading more books you have written.. this book just blessed me, made me laugh and had me on the edge of my seat at times. I would love to see sequel to it?

Hi Donna. I'm really glad you enjoyed Allie and Bea. I get a lot of requests for sequels, but I almost never write them. First of all, I have so many new characters I want you to meet. Also, I like to think of these characters going on to have happy and fairly uneventful lives. Happy lives are wonderful to live but dull as dishwater to read about. To get a good story out of characters you have to put them through all manner of hell. I hate to do that to them a second time. Hope that doesn't sound silly. Thanks for the question.

If I could give this a 6* I just finished Have You Seen Luis Velez. I just finished Just After Midnight and started this book. So I haven't done anything for 2 days because I could not put the books down. So I am not going to start Stay for a few days....and thanks for being my friend since you are the best author. My question is: How do you come up with all these great books and still ride your horse?
