A Goodreads user asked Elizabeth Wein:

I got Code Name Verity for Christmas and I was wondering, as of 2024, do you plan on writing more in the series, or do you feel you have written enough? Love how there was no bad iffy content, Julie & Maddie were JUST friends! I wish they were my friends in real life. Thank you for giving them to me when I needed something to restore my faith in the concept of friendship, giving me shining examples of real friends :)

Elizabeth Wein Hi Charlotte, I'm so glad you enjoyed Code Name Verity. I wish Julie & Maddie were my friends in real life too - they FEEL like my friends! I did base them on several friendships of my own, which I think helps to make them feel so real and convincing.

I am not planning to write anything more in the series at the moment, but there are other books in the series that do exist: Rose Under Fire, The Enigma Game, and The Pearl Thief. You may enjoy checking these out if you haven't already.

Thank you for reading and for getting in touch!

When writing Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire, did you ever fear not being able to flesh the story or characters enough to do the victims of war justice?

Sarah asked Elizabeth Wein:

You are an amazing author. Code Name Verity is the best book I have ever read, and believe me, I've read a lot. You had me laughing at Queenie's wit and sharpness, and had me crying my eyes out. Once I finished it I immediately turned back to page one and read it all over again. How did you think to write the book as the confessional journal? It is such a unique way of writing. Did you have the overall plot planned?

Kirsty asked Elizabeth Wein:

This might be a really simple question, but it's been bothering me for a while... Are fraulein Engel from Code Name Verity and Anna Engel from Rose Under Fire the same person? Thank you so much for writing these books, they're absolutely brilliant and you're definitely the best author I've read for a very long time!
