As of this time, there is no sequel in the works. I really do like to give my reader's imagination free reign to wonder as it will.
Besides, sequels are tough. I did it once, setting two books -- "Lake News" and "An Accidental Woman" -- in the same lake town in New Hampshire. Making sure that every little detail in the second book was consistent with every little detail in the first was a challenge. I also realized through that effort that, as a writer, I prefer to start each book in a new place with an entirely new cast.

If I were to write a sequel to Family Tree, which character would you pick to be the main focus?
