Your books are amazing, the book Both Can Be True is so unique and warmed my heart. I have a soft-spot for changing and unique books and I fell in love with this one after I read it! Will there be a second?

Jules Machias I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! There isn't a sequel, but Ash and Daniel do make a brief appearance in my book FIGHT + FLIGHT. …moreI'm so glad you enjoyed the book! There isn't a sequel, but Ash and Daniel do make a brief appearance in my book FIGHT + FLIGHT. (less)
