"you've got a dark horse, you've got a cold kiss..." is stuck in my head again!
I am a little disappointed that there is not a third book, but I haven't read the second yet because I liked the first so much. I don't like things to end.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Psst, I think it's dark HEART. Not that I can talk. Ask Cass how I mangled Kane lyrics one time.
Cold Kiss was conceived as a single book, so writing Glass Heart was sort of a challenge. I'd like to go back one day and revisit some of the other characters, or explore Wren's family history, but I think I'm happy with where I left Wren herself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

On the one hand, weird to write a sequel to a book you didn't intend to write a sequel to. On the other hand, nice that they wanted you to!

Yeah. It would have been even nicer if it had done well, but I'm still proud of it.

I just finished my John Green marathon that started a couple months ago with me sobbing my way through The Fault in Our Stars and ended this morning when I finished Looking for Alaska. (Will Grayson, Will Grayson, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns were in there too)
I found myself wishing he'd been writing when I was in high school. That's not meant as a criticism - I LOVED all of them - but I was such a mess when I was the age his characters are that his books may have been overwhelmingly helpful.

I didn't mean for that to sound self-pitying. It's just one of those calculated risks in publishing -- do you assume interest will be there for a sequel, or actually wait and see?

Amy,
it didn't sound self-pitying to me, your remark made me laugh in a dark humor sort of way. I hope you meant it that way!

Dark humor is the key to publishing. ::nods::
