A.L. Knorr answered Tawnya's question: Hello. First of all I want to tell you that you have the best website for an author that I have ever come across. Secondly I was wondering where "Playing with Fire" can be found? It says it is a prequel, but I'm not seeing it. Searching the net was NOT helpful. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55765948-playing-with-fire Hi Tawnya, Sorry for the lack of reply! I'm hardly ever on GR, so my apologies that I didn't see this until now. Playing with Fire became Part 1 of the book Firecracker, so you can read it as contained together with that story. Thank you and all the See Full Answer
