I am so happy to hear that you have enjoyed Missing and The Book of Chance. I don't have any immediate plans to write a sequel - though I have been asked this question a lot, so once I finish my current novel, I think I will have to give the sequel some serious thought. (I know what happens, btw, and there are more secrets for Chance to uncover! All is not as it seems.) Thanks for the interest and the question. My end of July is in lockdown, but it hasn't been too bad as I have books to read and a new book to write. Hope all is well with you. Sue (less)

Happy reading! (less)
