Emily asked Jennifer E. Smith:

I did not know you wrote another story about Ellie and Graham. I'm so excited! What made you decide to write a sequel?

Jennifer E. Smith Yes, HAPPY AGAIN will be released as an e-book on April 14th, and it's a mini sequel to THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE. I'm very excited for you all to read it!

Honestly, I think the credit for this one goes to my readers. I had no plans to write any sort of sequel; when I finish a book, I'm usually very happy with where I left the characters. But I got so many emails from readers about Ellie and Graham, wondering what would happen next, asking if I would ever consider writing more, hoping and wishing and pleading their case.

Because of this, the story was on my mind a lot more than it normally would have been, and then one day an idea popped into my head. It was just a flash of where I imagined Ellie and Graham would be a year later, but it was enough to make me want to sit down and find out more.

So I want to say thank you to everyone who loved THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE enough to ask me what happened next. You guys are the ones who wished this novella into being, and I'm very, very grateful.
