Drew Pattengale told me something very interesting at work today, but I'm not sharing.

Ok, ok, I'll give you a hint. When I first started writing Open Your Heart, I had no idea what was causing Pattengale's hormonal imbalance. He told me at work today what it is. But I'm not telling you any more than that! Well, ok, it's not his diet.

I will tell you that this additional bit has cinched it for me, when OYH concludes sometime next year at the soonest, there'll be a sequel. The sequel will be titled Come to the Grace, and I'm still trying to figure out what to call the two books together, as well as any other novels written about Drew, if there are more. Though "Ask For Forever" is kind of in my mind for that.

I know, I'm a horrible horrible tease. It's my way of living my motto: Play Hard, Laugh Harder. It's all about having fun.

By the way, the cumulative meaning of the three titles ought to give you a very very big hint. Especially if you listen to the lyrics of "Open Your Heart" by Yuki Kajiura and "Everlasting" by Kokia.

Yep. I'm evil. And proud of it.
