First of all, I apologize for not having seen this sooner. Usually I get email notifications from Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ but not this time. I'm sorry I didn't know this was here.
As to your question, I have not ruled it out per se, but the thing is that Odd Billy Todd was written to be a completed story, and as such I sort of wrote myself into a corner where a sequel is concerned. I have sketched several outlines for a sequel but all of them hit one block or another and end up in the dust bin because I can't seem to find a way to make it a good story. My rule for myself where this (or any writing project actually) is concerned is that it has to be a good story. It has to be worth it to the people reading or else it's no good at all. Thus far I haven't found the formula for producing that kind of sequel. I will say that should I ever come up with that formula then I would almost certainly use it and try to create a quality sequel to Billy's story.
I know this isn't a definitive answer but it's honestly the best I can give you. I never imagined Billy being so popular, but then if I had I might have done it differently and that, maybe, would not have been as good.
Thank you, and I hope sincerely that you enjoyed Odd Billy Todd.

I know that some authors like for there books to be in the same universe, I can see that several of your book series could be in the same universe. For instance the Parno series could be in any one of your other series of books For instance the fire in the sky series or the last paladin series. Are they? Before I turn this over to you I want to say how much I LOVE reading your books.
