Young Adult Romance

The Sequel to Flux Bestseller Leaving Paradise! Maggie and Caleb just went through the worst year of their lives. Hit by a car and starting life over with a limp, Maggie never thought she would forgive Caleb. But she did-and fell in love. What they shared was real. But Caleb wanted to be free from the past-and a terrible secret: he wasn't the one who hit Maggie. So he left Paradise-and Maggie- forever. When Maggie and Caleb run into each other in a different town, they can't deny their true feelings. Will Maggie let Caleb get away again? Or will Caleb face the truth and return to Paradise?

Re: Return To Paradise

The story is never finished; there are secondary characters who we readers get attached to and want a conclusion for. And that means more books for you to write and us to read.

You're so very right about characters taking you in a direction you never dreamed. At times, it feels as though the story writes itself with my fingers trying to keep up.
When readers keep wanting more stories along the same line, you have an audience with requests to fill, so keep on writing and give them the good and bad news.

I am always pleased with sequels. There is always more to find out about characters.

Ah yes, the never ending story! Most readers do want "all" the characters to have their own story. Of course, that would make a book that we probably couldn't hold comfortably! It is nice to have a continuation "by series"!

I suppose that there are cases where the publishers sometimes know what is best for a book more than the author. It must have been agonizing for you, since you nursed your characters so!! I'm glad that your book took off so well, and I can't wait to read it!! I even love the names that you chose for your characters. You don't hear the names too often, yet they're not unusual names that turn you off from reading the books. Great job!!

This is exactly why I'm a series
whore.
