Hi Mr. Stewart! After 10+ years I am still absolutely in love with the Cathy Vickers trilogy. Is there a chance that you and the co-creators would ever work on something like the books (or something else) again? If not, do you have any recommendations for other works like the trilogy, because I have not found anything like them ever since haha Thanks so much!

Sean Stewart Hi Fabienne!

First, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the books so much!

As it happens, this very week we have been making the rounds pitching a Cathy TV series. As you probably know, the odds are always against these things actually happening - but it would be fun, wouldn't it?

If you are still in the mood for Odd But Maybe Funny Interactive Stories by Me, it so happens that I am writing and directing an interactive play right now. It will be performed on Twitch in early august, but we are streaming live to Twitch every day so you could come hang out and watch us try to get the show ready, make suggestions, or just heckle. :) Check it out.

(If you are in France, alas, we livestream at 2AM your time)

And since you ask, Jordan Weisman and I are just talking about making a "story in a box" where you would get a box full of letters, pictures, perhaps an old locket and other treasures that would tell a story for you to discover. Let's hope we can make that happen!

Thanks again for writing; what a lovely way to start my day!

I have a question about the book Nobody's Son. Is there ever going to be sequel to it? I only ask since it seems like that story had a lot going for it. I loved the book and its great as a single book but can't help wondering how the story would continue.

Trivia - since we're on GoodReads and I reviewed Pride and Prejudice here, I deliberately lifted the "two couples…moreI am so pleased you liked that book! Trivia - since we're on GoodReads and I reviewed Pride and Prejudice here, I deliberately lifted the "two couples" engine that makes P & P work as a core element of Nobody's Son. (Other Middlemarch and Women in Love, if you're scoring at home, along with many others...)

Right now I'm not planning to write a sequel to Nobody's Son; most of my writing time goes into things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_... and https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sherl...

I do think we *read* books for the story, but we *re-read* them to spend time with the characters, and I suspect Nobody's Son remains the most re-readable thing I've written.

The other thing is, that book's themes came out of a bunch of stuff I was thinking about in the months leading up to the birth of my first daughter. Since then, obviously, I've gone through the whole process of being a parent - Somebody's Dad, as it were. If the first book was about the stresses of courtship, it would be interesting to go back and see how those people would cope with being the parents of small children. That is a whole new world for a relationship.

(Bits and pieces of that come into other books, of course; if you've ever had a small kid, there are parts of The Night Watch that might feel familiar.)

Thanks so much for the question, and for your affection for that book and those characters. It's cheering to feel the work is still in someone's thoughts this many years later...
