I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about the future, particularly regarding the AHW series, and I think it’s past time I did a blog post talking about what the plans are for the series.
First off, a promise: the story DOES continue!! I expect that’s implied by the doozy-of-a-cliffhanger ending, but I wanted to go on the record about that anyway. The story does/will continue, but in what format I’m still not 100% sure. A lot of it has to do with what format the series is released as (serial or novel), and whether I will self-publish the continuation or if I publish through St. Martin’s Press. I can’t say much right now because that whole part is still in talks, but SMP is definitely interested in acquiring a sequel, and I still very much want to work with them. It all comes down to me now to get them something to publish.
Yes folks, I still need to write the story.
Right now I’m on a deadline for an Avon anthology story, so I’m focusing my writing efforts on that and hope to have it done this month. After that however, it’s all about an AHW sequel.
I really don’t mean to ignore anybody, especially since its all thanks to you that I’m even where I am. Many of the questions I’ve received are the same thing, and it gets hard to keep repeating the same answer: that, yes, the series will continue, and no, I don’t yet have a publication date. But as soon as I know anything, I’ll definitely let you all know!!
I really do appreciate every person that’s ever bought, read, or recommended the first AHW and its individual serials. It’s not my intention to ignore you, and I’m definitely online much more with Twitter and Facebook. But I’m thankful for EVERYBODY who’s allowed me this opportunity to do the one thing I love (and love making a living with), and would never want you to think I am not grateful for your support.
You guys continue to be the greatest!!!

What about the story devils own. It was in the back of the book what ever he wants.
Sara Fawkes
January 19, 2013 at 8:31 am
Actually it was originally meant to be a short story specifically for the novelization of AHW. However, so many people have mentioned it that I’m thinking I may in the future do a story focusing on the brother. Still unsure how it’ll work, and I need to finish at least AHW2 first, but that’s an idea that won’t leave my head!

The story is awesome. Whatever you write you will do the storyline of Remi & Lucy justice.
Sara Fawkes

Oh I hope so!! Never knew the brother would take front and center but he really has!!!

I just finished reading AHW #1 to #5. I was hoping to find more of AHW books. Your stories were a wonderful escape. I am hoping to read more of this series. Thank you for writing these stories.
Besides being a great escape, your stories helped while dealing Chemo. Hoping 2013 brings more AHW stories.

Hi Sarah,
Love the AHW books can’t wait for the sequel just keep us posted on your progress. If you could drop us a note when you start writing it that would be nice so we can anticipate the finished book. I am sure you will get us another great read. You mentioned you are writing something else what is it called and how can we get the ebook when its published. thanks Jennifer
Sara Fawkes
February 7, 2013 at 7:52 am
The novella is finished (well, rough draft; still need to do edits) and AHW2 has been started! Keep an eye on the bar up top-right on the blog, I’ll keep that updated with my progress.

Thank you for updating us on AHW. I’ve been dying to hear an update on the series. I’ve even bought the audio hoping to hear the sequel part. LOL. Thanks again. Big fan of AHW.
Sara Fawkes
February 7, 2013 at 7:53 am
Alas, no sequel part on the audio! BUT, it’s started and I’m having fun with it!! We learn a lot more about Lucas, but don’t think Jeremiah is out for the count!

Am I to understand right that Devils Due ( the few pages at the end of Anything He Wants) is not out yet?
Sara Fawkes
February 7, 2013 at 7:54 am
“Devil’s Due” was meant to be a short story special for the novel, not a book in its own right. However, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of giving Lucas his own book. First though, he has to survive what happens next!
Jennifer
February 10, 2013 at 8:15 am
Hi Sarah is there any way to only purchase the bonus part of AHW novel I already bought the separate books before you published the full novel and I kinda feel cheated that I won’t get to read the bonus “Devils Due” without spending an additional 9.99 on an ebook that I read most of already. Thanks loyal fan
Jennifer can’t wait for the sequel
