I Heart Ed Small was my favorite book of 2012. I LOVED it and I've been anxiously awaiting the sequel. Any idea as to when it will be out?

You know, I wasn't going to write a sequel but so many people asked for one, I thought- I will try.

I am shooting for it being out next November. 2015. I'm going to try.

When I wrote the first novel, I didn't have to worry about letting anyone down. I thought like 5 people would read it! haha!

I can't post any more excerpts on here because I don't want to spoil anything.

Thanks for your question and for your kind words. (less)

I write it just for me, and I tell myself, "it doesn't count" and "It's just for fun". And then I'm free to write anything at all. No limits. No judgements. (less)
