Hi Mark I read your book Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians 1 year ago. When I finished reading it I noticed that there was supposed to be a sequel at the end of the book. The book was published in 2011 meaning is been 12 years and still no sequel. So, are you still working on it? Or did you regret the idea and just leave it like that? I am just curious sorry if I offended you or something by accident.

Mark Caney Hello Maria,

Nice to hear from you. I did start work on a sequel and had fully intended to complete it. Unfortunately though, the publisher said that there were not enough sales of the first book to justify printing the sequel yet. Hopefully, that may change in future, but meanwhile, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Anyway, I hope you liked the first book.

I badly want to read your book, but I'm worried in case this isn't suitable for me since I'm 12 years old. I read that this could only be read by adults and teenagers. Can I read this book?

Mark Caney I don't think you'll find anything unsuitable for you in the book, so if you find you enjoy books for teenagers sometimes (you almost are one) you probably will like this book

I loved reading your book so much!! Is there going to be a sequel to Dolphin Way?

Mark Caney Hi Pamela

I'm really pleased to hear you enjoyed Dolphin Way. I do have a sequel in mind and have even partly written it but I do not know when it will be published.

What made you want to write this book?

Mark Caney Hi Nadia

I had an extraordinary experience with a wild dolphin once in the Red Sea (see here for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4af14...) and that impressed me as to just how intelligent they are. I started researching them and realised they probably have comparable intellects to our own.

I wondered what they were using all that intelligence for, when we spend so much of our efforts on altering our world while they live in apparent harmony with theirs. That is when I began to imagine the possible alternative way of life they might be living, and what must happen when our world starts to impact on theirs.

Regards

Mark
