Nicole asked Liesl Shurtliff:

Hi Liesl, I really enjoyed Red and Rump, and can't wait to read Jack and Grump. I wanted to ask if you were thinking about revisiting Beast's story in the future?

Critterbee❇ asked Liesl Shurtliff:

Hello Liesl! I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Red, and WOW was I blown away! I liked Rump; we read it with our girls reading group who also really enjoyed it. Only, Red was just so amazing. She jumped straight off of the pages into my heart! Who are you planning to write about next? And, I selfishly demand to know, will you be featuring Red in any more books in the future? Thank you so much!
