   I love The Apple Orchard & The Beekeepers Ball. The ending of the Beekeepers Ball referred to situations indicating another book. I’m wondering why you haven’t written another book in that series?

   I have thoroughly enjoyed many of your other books including entire Lakeshore Chronicles series.

   What are some of your most recent books??
