Tracy... Thank you so much! I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I loved writing both series and it was so hard to finish them and move on to another series, after spending so long with all the different characters and overlapping families of the Sister Series. The epilogue by Jessie, though short, is my most favorite thing I've ever written, and the only thing I've teared up over when I wrote it. It's so gratifying to get your reaction to it!! Thank you so much for reading and even moving with another of my series. :)
Much love & Happy Reading, Leanne

Yes, I am!...but I don't have an exact timeline when I'll get to it. I have at least one more book in mind about Cassie's son Tim. I hope to get to writing it within the next year. I have a few books I am finishing in another series first and then I'm hoping to write it.

Puja,
I haven't been asked something like this before, so thank you, because you summed up what much of my storytelling is trying to convey and why I write the stories I do. Often they are my attempt (and hopefully I succeed sometimes) to illustrate that victims of things (anything from sexual or physical attacks to emotional or behavioral disorders) CAN overcome or find the strength to live with what has happened to them. As I write each character (especially females) I try to write them as if I am "them" and dig into the emotions they might have or actions they might exhibit. It's been my process from the first story I ever wrote and for some reason, stories/characters such as these, were always what naturally came to me to write. It felt like I never had a choice, I simply had to write them like I do. Each book I finish I feel like I lose a friend or sister that I've been through a journey with, and it's hard to move on to a new one.... until that next one begins to feel like a part of me. I think because I feel so invested in them, it makes any pain or difficulty in writing about them bearable. Like I owe it to them to write them as I do. Which might sound crazy but that is how each book feels for me. Again, thank you for this questions. It touched my heart to know someone else "felt" what I tried to convey in the written word through my characters.

Hi Pam, I'm so sorry, I missed this question here!! As of now, there will be no more audio books. The 6 audio books were produced by Audible and they've declined the rights for the rest of the series. I don' t have the intent right now to produce them myself (it's a pretty large upfront investment). My apologies, I was hoping they were going to do the rest of the Sister Seris.
