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."
"you've got a dark horse, you've got a cold kiss..."
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.

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.
Oh dear.
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::
zuisa, I've only read 3 of them, but I completely agree. I intend to recommend Paper Towns and Will Grayson to most of the adolescents I know.
