Joy Crain asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Melanie, I finished The Silent Songbird and completely loved it. I do wonder, are the Le Wyse family and the Gerstenberg family connected somehow that I missed? Also a great opportunity has arisen for me about publishing my novel and I am super excited as I head into the second draft. And I am also super excited about your Aladdin retelling and Mulan retelling.

Melanie Dickerson Hi, Joy! Yes, they get connected when, in The Princess Spy, Margaretha Gerstenberg marries Colin le Wyse, who is the grandson of the two main characters in The Merchant's Daughter. Then the story of Colin's parents is told in The Silent Songbird.
Thanks!
