elle asked Andrew Shaffer:

Will the recent stories about how uncomfortable and invasive some of Joe's touchy made women be addressed (even lightly! or positively! I'm not trying to push a "right" response or "canceling") in future books?

Andrew Shaffer Good question. I don't address the issue in either of the first two books in the series. For years, there have been montages floating around the internet of Joe getting close to women at public events (many of which featured Photoshopped or out of context photos, which made them easy to dismiss). The women speaking up is a recent phenomenon. I'm listening to their stories, and am curious to see what the political ramifications will be. There aren't any plans for a third book at this time.
