For the benefit of everyone who wasn’t at our book club meeting, I should point out that you asked this question because some of you thought certain situations in the book would lend themselves to a continuation of the story. But the answer’s no, I wasn’t thinking of a sequel when I wrote it. I thought it would stand on its own. But the characters seem to have other ideas. I still hear them talking; I’m still seeing snippets of scenes that involve them, and I’m getting thoughts on how that may shape into a book that will follow them all through another less-known-about Jacobite intrigue (which might satisfy Colonel Graeme, who’s one of the characters talking the most to me, wanting to get himself back in the action.)
