I was rereading one of your books the other day and a thought came to mind. Have you ever considered making an interactive website with UMe.com profiles for your characters? I think it would be a neat way to keep track of everyone, especially since quite a few of them make cameo appearances in your later books.
Just a thought (: Thanks again and I look forward to your future books!

someone told me that some of your books are related to each other.is it true? if it is, then whats the best order to read them?"
I was wondering the same thing.
![Lauren](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1623778193p1/3555019.jpg)
P.S. It frustrates me soo much knowing that you live within an hour of my house yet I don't know where you live!

Thanks!
