My next book will be a novella called Here To Stay. It’s Daisy and Erik in the first five years of their life together. In the midst of their joy in reconciling, they will have challenges to face such as the stress of Erik moving to Canada and trying to find work. Erik also has to mend a lot of hurt with Will and there’s twelve years of emotion he and Daisy have to catch up on and allow themselves to feel. Not everything goes with fairytale smoothness, but little by little he and Daisy build on the foundations already laid and create a new life together. They’re a very loving, connected couple and extremely bonded with Will and Lucky. “The four of us need each other,” Will says. “Don’t tell me in the fifty-thousand year history of the human race, this has never happened before. We’re not weird. In the statistical scheme of things, we’re probably typical.”
At the same time, Erik begins to make contact with some cousins on his father’s side. He slowly begins to build relationships and learn a little family history. His father gains dimension when relatives tell Erik stories. Being a “Fish” takes on new significance. And these new relationships will be of tremendous importance to him when he faces one of the greatest challenges of his life as a son, a husband and a father.

I've just finished reading TMIL and I loved it so much. I see from your other questions you have a follow up for Daisy and Erik but I was wondering if there was going to be a book for David? Don't get me wrong, I don't like him for what he did to them, and after skimming GMYAT I see there is a bit more back-story for him and Daisy but I actually really liked him after the shooting. Will he get to tell his story?

I'm revisiting the Fish Tales and I'm not sure if you've been asked this already but...why didn't Daisy go out to see Erik in person the first 3 years she was trying to contact him? Would it have made a difference? I get that the book would have been shorter, but still...those 12 years are hard to swallow. BTW, I'm so excited for The Ones That Got Away :D July 7th couldn't get here sooner!

I finished all of the Fish Tales today. I don't remember when I last cried so much over fictional characters. A truly great, well written story. I somehow read the the books in 1,3,2 order. Still worked. I may have missed it, but I keep wondering why Eric wasn't invited to the Lancaster reunion. Did someone purposefully not include him? I keep reading that section to look for clues.
