Craig Schaefer answered Wendy Nelson's question: No questions but I'm re-reading Black Tie Required in prep for the next book, and man, I am all in. I don't remember everything since it has been a while, but I'm loving it all over again. I love Jessie and Harmony's relationship. the best partners ever! I love your skill as a writer, and I cannot wait for the next Harmony Book. I hope you continue this character for a long time to come? Ty for this exciting series! Thank you so much! I'm really excited to be getting back to Harmony and Jessie, and I feel awful that it took so long; this is basically me shaking off the last of my pandemic-induced brain issues and getting all the way back into action.
