A.B. Whelan Hi Mary, Thank you for your question. It's great to hear you enjoyed Vicky's story. I've been playing with the idea of revisiting some of my former characters readers loved and asked me to bring back in a sequel. I'm working on another standalone novel right now, but it is a possibility, yes. :)
A.B. Whelan Hello Yadira, I am so sorry for not noticing your question earlier. I've been focusing on finishing my latest thriller.
Yes, Return to Innocence, is the title of the fourth and final book in the series. I am working on it right now. This is my next book to be published.
Thank you for liking my FOE series and following Molly and Victor's adventures. I will make sure to offer you an advanced reader copy when it is finished.
If you have any questions or comments please contact me at andreabizderiwhelan@gmail.com
Thank you and have a Happy New Year! Andrea
A.B. Whelan Hi Mary! I'd consider it an honor to join your book club meeting via Skype or Facetime. When I get invited to a book club meeting I usually bring or mail a box with swags: book marks and magnets for each participants and a signed book for the host/raffle winner/etc. I'd like to do the same for your book club. Please email me with the details. andreabizderiwhelan@gmail.com

Thank you for contacting me!
Best wishes,
Andrea
A.B. Whelan Dear Rene, I want you to know how much I appreciate you comment. Writing is a very emotional process and positive messages can propel an author forward with a million miles. So thank you for contacting me.
14 Days is my debut thriller and since I really enjoy this genre I'll write many more. I just posted about this new book here on Goodreads. You can add it to your shelf if you don't want to miss the release date. Untitled (a gripping psychological thriller). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
If you left a review somewhere please message me the link. I'd love to read it. :)
A.B. Whelan Hi Cameron! I'm glad you like my giveaway. I try to run as many as I can. :)
I usually write YA fantasy, but I'm a huge fan of CSI (the Las Vegas one) and one day I was watching this episode about a husband who wanted to get rid of his wife and the story just clicked with me. After that, I started watching CSI episodes feverishly and I was soaking it all up. Sarah's story was brewing in my head for months, until one day I decided to write it. It took me a long time to finish it. I think I drove my husband nuts with my mood swings while writing. :)
I'm very happy about the attention this book is getting. It means I'm not the only one crazy here. :)
No, I don't jot down ideas. I used to but now I have dozens of notebooks with ideas I never read again. If I forget something then most likely it wasn't important anyway. But I do try to sit down and write whenever I get a spark, so I can get it on paper before the passion ebbs. :) Do you write?
A.B. Whelan Hi Linda!! It's great that you want to read my book. I'm blown away by the attention 14 Days to Die is getting. It's great to hear that so many people were able to connect with Sarah.
I can get you a copy. Do you read epubs? Message me your email address and I'll send you a B&N voucher. :) Thanks for reaching out to me.
A.B. Whelan Hi Prithi, thanks for the message. Yes, I do give away review copies of all my books. Which one of my books are you interested in? You can send me a private message with your email address, the title of the book, and the format you need. Happy New Year!!
A.B. Whelan Thank you Violet! I really appreciate your help spreading the word about my book. Please email me a request to andreabizderiwhelan@gmail.com with your Netgalley username and I will forward it to Patchwork Press that listed 14 Days to Die on Netgalley. I will also send a personal email about your request to the publishers associate I've been in contact with. I have no saying in who gets approved or not, but I'll do my best to get you approved. :)
A.B. Whelan I hope you'll enjoy them. Thank you for signing up.
I loved your question. It really got me thinking. I believe everything I hear and see inspires me to come up with a story but organizing my thoughts and writing a novel takes discipline and commitment. Once I start writing I imagine every scene on the big screen. My desire to see my characters come to life in the theater is probably my biggest inspiration when writing. Do you write?
