Sequels Are Big

[cyn2write]

I heard somewhere that in 2011, the Sequel will be BIG, especially in movies. Scream 4, Cars 2, Sherlock Holmes 2, etc. etc.

Sequels are already huge in YA books. One of the things a YA writer will inevitably get again and again once her book is published is this question: "Are you going to write a sequel?" because most YA books nowadays are part of

Fairy Tale.

I was at a bookstore the other day with my 10 year old daughter and she found Fairytale and brought it to me. I read the inside cover and found it interesting but I didn't buy it (couldn't afford it and the 4 other books my daughter wanted). She went back two days later with her grandmother and bought it as a suprise. I have to tell you that I thought it was such a good book! I really loved it. I had to laugh at your blog because I am definitely one of those people who gets wrapped up in characters and I instantly start casting the actors that would play them if they made a movie based on the book. My daughter, Parker and I agree that this would be such a great ABC family film! We love those! I normally don't comment on blogs but when you said you would probably never write a sequel I was disappointed. The one thing that kind of made me sad was that Cam became just a faint memory. Maybe one day you'll reconsider bringing Cam and Morgan back together( maybe Morgan gets sick and he's watched her all this time so he comes back to save her). Just a thought! I know I must sound crazy with all my suggestions! I've just always hated when a good story ends!

Anyway, I'll be picking up Sleepless next. Just want to let you know you have a new fan!!!

Thank you SO much. I am so glad you and Parker liked FAIRY TALE and that you took the time to let me know. And thank you for suggesting that it be a film and giving me suggestions on the sequel! I have to confess I have thought about it a bit more seriously than I stated in my journal entry, and though I am working on other books, who knows? It may happen one day. I actually love your idea of Morgan getting sick and Cam having to save her! Again, your comments really made my day and thank you for being a fan. It means so much to me. XO, Cyn
