Hi Andrea, Sorry I did not see this question when you posted it! Thank you for taking the time to do so. Each story, to me, calls for different approaches and characters, but yes! In fact, my new novel, The Dante Chamber, comes out May 29, 2018 and is bursting with well-known literary celebrities, including poets Christina Rossetti, Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson, and Christina's brother, poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Hope you might check it out, and thanks again!

I was just looking at my copy of Robinson Crusoe, which doesn't have a date of publication....the dedication, Puzzle Prize Mary A. Galivan 1884, so pretty old.....I was wondering about bookaneers, did they only pirate books before they were published anywhere? I know I saw you at Porter Square and you had a pirated edition of a book, I can't remember how you can tell the difference! Can I have a refresher course?

I am so thrilled that you have written this newest book as I read The Dante Club right after reading The Inferno in college. I had sent you an email and you wrote back the nicest response in return. I printed that response and showed my students, (I teach high school English) and I then created a project in which they had to read a book and write an email to the author. Why did you decide to write a sequel?
