Bobby asked Chris Bohjalian:

I'm sure I'm not alone in not grasping the horror of sex slavery before reading The Guest Room and your insight was well researched as well as eye-opening. The control of these young people is stunning as to steps taken to secure their continued obedience. Any chance of writing a follow up on Alexandra? It seems her tale may just be beginning!

Chris Bohjalian Thank you, Bobby. I know what you mean.

I have never written a sequel to a novel, but one never knows.

And I am so pleased that you want to read more about Alexandra. I know how much I missed her when I finished writing the novel.

I actually wrote a short story about her: a prequel to "The Guest Room." You can read it here:

Thank you again for your faith in my work. I am very grateful.
