It involves a secret society of Southern Belles, cliff-jumping, a summer at the lake, three generations of high society secrets, complicated family relationships, four mysteries, and one dead body. Right now, I have three more books scheduled to come out: But I have also been an author long enough to know that sales are not always what I want them to be and that no sequel is guaranteed, so I ended THE LOVELY AND THE LOST in such a way that I was satisfied with the ending, even if I never get to return to those characters and that world. I sold THE LOVELY AND THE LOST in a one-book deal, which means that I wrote it to stand alone, but have series potential, meaning that if sales were good enough that my publisher wanted me to write a sequel, I would be totally excited to do so and have some ideas about where it might go, the new characters you might meet (including NEW DOGS), and so on. Do you think you'll write a sequal or make it a series some day? At the end, it seems like you left a lot of openings/threads for a second book. Tenuous-grace asked: I finished The Lovely and the Lost in less than a day and I loved it! <3<3<3 You're right about it feeling like the perfect marraige of Raised by Wolves and Naturals.
