You’ve recently published a standalone, The Sparrow and the Oak Tree.
It was trying to name new locations that was the hardest part of that. Since I'm just springboarding off what was already there and basically fleshing out what was already known about the world, it didn't feel difficult at all. Is it difficult to continue with worldbuilding for a world you have already built in book 1? Do you find it easier to switch locations for the sequel and start again with worldbuilding? In short, it can very difficult, and then some of the characters just slot in like they've always been part of the group, so the mileage can vary. Oh, gosh, the initial three give the incoming characters such a hard time, so things tend to be rocky between them at first, and Meg as a character just did not want the plot to progress where I wanted it to, so I gave up fighting her on it. How difficult is it to add new characters in a sequel into already established relationships?
I would say so, at least, the readers who have messaged me continue to the series, and I think it's because they love the characters and the books themselves are just fun and entertaining to read. Do you find that most of your readers continue to read the whole series? Why do you think that is?
