I hope everyone enjoys it! One thing you get asked when you write a sequel is: can you read it without heaving read the first novel (in this case, THE PLOT)? The answer is, well, sure, but why would you want to? Read THE PLOT first and be ready for maximum fun and games (some of them murderous) in THE SEQUEL.

A gentle reminder NOT to ask me to be a Goodreads friend, or follow my reviews. I probably won't see the request for months and you'll feel justifiably irritated with me -- I don't do any interacting on Goodreads. (I do have another account to track my own reading, but it's private, and I don't review books even on that one so there will be nothing to follow.) The best way to reach me is through my website, jeanhanff@gmail.com or via Instagram (@jeanhanff)

Cheers, Jean

THE PLOT is published on May 11th and I couldn't be more thrilled by the early response. Thanks to so many of you who read and reviewed the book in anticipation of publication. (I have now thoroughly processed the term: "slow burn".)

A note to anyone interested in following my reviews on GOODREADS: I likely won't see your follow request, so don't be shocked if I don't respond. (You won't be missing much, as I don't review books on the website). If you're trying to contact me, I probably won't see that, either. The best way to reach me is via the contact form on my website:

Another bad way to reach me: Facebook.

Please do follow me on Instagram (@jeanhanff) or Twitter (@jeanhanffkoreli for book stuff, @hanffjean for political venting and whingeing).
