Hina Vohra asked Sam Mariano:

I've been following you since BoY was coming out on fictionpress. When you ended it and said there'd be no sequel I cried a little. My question is: what made you decide to write a sequel? and will it be the HEA we all want(don't answer this!!! I want to read and find out!!!!! I asked because I HAD TO!)?

Sam Mariano Haha, don't worry, I won't spoil it! ;) Well, for years almost everyone who has read the book has wanted a sequel and I felt bad not being able to give them one, but given the epilogue, I just had nothing. Once I got the idea to remove the epilogue (after reading an article about how, actually, people kinda don't like epilogues) I thought, I wonder what would happen if I removed the epilogue... and as soon as I did, the sequel popped up in my head! It's a variation of an alternate ending I had initially considered anyway all those years ago, so I'm honestly surprised I never thought to do that sooner, lol.
