Jonathan K (Max Outlier) asked Derek B. Miller:

Mr. Miller..its hard to put into words the impact of American by Day. Having read every book you've written, this had the biggest impact emotionally and otherwise. Your abilities to create relatable characters and weave impactful themes is what writing is about. Will there be a sequel to this book and if not, what's in the works?

Derek B. Miller What a lovely note to receive. Thank you. I loved spending time with Irv and Sigrid and the team on that one. I've been toying with a follow up that would feature Irv and Sigrid years later (possibly divorced by then!) but teaming up in a New England town (reluctantly, but still partly in love) to solve a mystery together. Haven't put pen to paper on that, though. I love this book too, and I'm glad it touched you. It is the most American book and the most "local" and I feel very close to it too. In the meantime, THE CURSE OF PIETRO HOUDINI is out, and I have a book under review now. Hopefully it'll be picked up! More soon and best wishes.
