Lisa Jewell has announced on her website that, following her next book - currently entitled The Secret History of Melody Browne (due April 2009), she'll be writing a sequel to her debut novel, Ralph's Party.
"I always said I would never do a sequel, because generally I am fed up to the back teeth with my characters after a year or more in their company and want to create a fresh cast of people to play with," she says. "But ten years is a long time (yes, ten years) and I thought it would be fun to see what that decade has meant to Ralph, Smith, Jem et al. I’ve only just started it, but I think it's going to be fun."
What do you think? Are you excited about this news or do you wish authors would let their characters lie?
