Zoe asked Nancy Springer:

Oh....just found this thread and am over the moon. I cite the Enola books frequently in my reviews (as in 'while not as good as the Enola Holmes series' or 'skip this and look up Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes books', etc., etc. Will the be children's books, or considered more for the teen market? (I work in a bookstore where there is quite a different market).

Nancy Springer Zoe, kudos for asking exactly the right question! My agent and I were discussing how to get Enola Holmes out of the kidlit ghetto. In Victorian times, teens functioned as adults, so it's not hard for me to write the next batch of books a little bit "older," hoping they will find a wider audience.

Ninedaysaqueen asked Nancy Springer:

Thank you so much for deciding to continue Enola Holmes. I was delighted with the ending, but I recently re-read the series and was reminded of how much I missed Enola. Like Sherlock, I can't wait to see what she'll do next. Enola running away from her brothers and finding her mother was the overall plot of the six books. Will there be an overall plot connecting the books together in this continuation? Thank you!

Lala

Lala asked Nancy Springer:

It's very unique how The Golden Swan is a sequel to both The Black Beast and the Books of Isle. Was this your intention all along? Or was there another reason for combining two different worlds?

Tessa

Tessa asked Nancy Springer:

I've been a fan of the Enola Holmes books for a long time, but something has always bothered me: What do the letters on the hardcover copy of the first book mean? SEBQR?
