Kathryn Casey answered Erin's question: Will there be a book 4 of the Clara Jefferies series? I've fallen in love with her story and need more! Unfortunately, the publisher ended the series with book three. I would LOVE to write book four. I so enjoyed writing about Clara. Sorry, but I just saw this now. I know it took me a long time to answer.
