Kate asked Stacy McAnulty:

Ms. McAnulty, I recently read your bonus chapter of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl for the first time ever, and I love how you connected your stories! Is The World Ends In April set in the same universe as Lightning Girl and Millionaires for the Month? Also, did you have in mind that the events in your books would take place in the same universe when you wrote them?

Stacy McAnulty Hello. Thanks for the question. All three of these novels are contemporary, so we can imagine they are in the same "universe". Both Lightning Girl and World Ends take place in NC, my home state, and Millionaires is set in NY, where I grew up. While none of the characters ever interact, we can imagine that it is totally possible that they might bump into each other at a store. :)

FYI: my new book, FOREVER TWELVE, is also contemporary and set in NC--the mountains, this time. However, this book is slightly different because it's a bit of a fantasy.
THANKS FOR READING!
