Kaitlynn asked Shawn P.B. Robinson:

Are you going to write another book that sets place in the world of Arestana but is not the Arestana books or Jerry the Squirrel?

Shawn P.B. Robinson Hey Kaitlynn!
That's an awesome question!
I have thought a lot about other books for that world. I have toyed with odd ideas like a book about Mary (not the Squirrel Mary, but the beastly creature in Arestana I) and even a cookbook from Masha (not just recipes... that would be boring... it would be a lot more fun).
I've even toyed with an idea for a book about Harv.
The idea I've put the most thought into, however, was a prequel for the series. It would focus in on Helga (from book two) when she travelled to Arestana as a 13-year-old. I have a tonne of notes for the prequel and could probably start into writing it any time. It would likely be a two book series and have a lot more "heart" to it than the Arestana books as my plan is for Helga to be really struggling a lot in life and her time in Arestana is what she needs... I have some cool twists and stories and stuff planned. If you pay attention in Arestana II and III there are a number of little hints about the prequel in there. It would be like an origin story for Jrasta and Masha and Jep as well... I even plan on bringing Sherry the Squirrel into it at one point. :)
But... those are all really "Arestana" themed books. :)
Other than that, I haven't considered anything.
But... I LOVE to hear ideas. So... tell me what you think I should write!!!
Shawn
