Hi Cammie, I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to read my review of Amy and Matthew. I absolutely loved it! What are writing next? Best Wishes, Sarah

Cammie McGovern Hi! Thank YOU for writing the review! And for asking about my next book--I've just turned in a new one that will come out next fall (about this time).…moreHi! Thank YOU for writing the review! And for asking about my next book--I've just turned in a new one that will come out next fall (about this time). It's not a sequel to SAY WHAT YOU WILL but it's similar in spirit--two non-disabled teens are forced to volunteer in a class on relationships and sexuality for young adults with disabilities. Yes it's a love story!(less)

Is Say What You Will going to have a sequel?

Cammie McGovern Hi Nashaly--So far I don't have any sequel planned for Say What You Will but I'm definitely not ruling it out! Quite a few people have asked me about …moreHi Nashaly--So far I don't have any sequel planned for Say What You Will but I'm definitely not ruling it out! Quite a few people have asked me about it but I want to give it a little time to think about where I'd pick up their story again and what should happen with them. I think it would be a year or two later and quite a bit would happen in between. What do you think should happen?

IN the meantime, I've just turned in another book that will be out next fall that is a little similar in spirit to SAY WHAT YOU WILL. It has romance and some kids with disabilities in it, though none of the same characters as SAY WHAT YOU WILL.
THANKS FOR WRITING AND FOR ASKING!(less)

“I've decided that it's possible to love someone for entirely selfless reasons, for all of their flaws and weaknesses, and still not succeed in having them love you back. It's sad, perhaps, but not tragic, unless you dwell forever in the pursuit of their elusive affections.”
