Olivia asked Jason McIntire:

Hi Jason, are you planning to write another Sparrow Story?

Jason McIntire Thanks for asking, Olivia. I have some desire to write a third Sparrow book (I actually "miss" the characters like they were real people), but I'm not sure whether I will be able to devote the time - or whether the idea I've got will actually work. Flight School almost didn't; after a year and a half of writing, I came within a breath of giving up because I couldn't see a way to bring it all together. Only pulled it out by the Lord's grace, ministered through my awesome family. It's hard to face the possibility of a near-fiasco like that happening again with Sparrow 3, but such are the perils of pantsing. Sometimes it all snaps right together, and sometimes it doesn't.

In addition, I do have another idea for a totally different kind of novel, a Medieval story that takes place in a country I made up. I've actually written a couple chapters of this (shh! don't tell anyone!) and so far, I kind of like it. Not sure how readers will feel, though 'cause it sure ain't The Sparrow Found a House. General thoughts on that would be welcome, if you have any.
