Gansett Island FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the McCarthys of Gansett Island

How many books will you write in this series?

I always answer this question the same way—I’ll keep writing the series for as long as readers tell me they’re enjoying it. So keep those e-mails and Facebook posts coming!

Who’s next?

David Lawrence and Daisy Babson will be featured in book 9, TIME FOR LOVE.

Will you write a “prequel” telling Big Mac and Linda’s love story?

I’d love to! I definitely think about that from time to time, but I’m not sure when I’ll do it. Maybe that would make a lovely end to the series someday—someday far off in the future!

Who is your favorite character in the series?

Duh! Ned! I also have a mad crush on Big Mac, but don’t we all?

Will you write books for the Gansett Island kids in the future?

I don’t know. Maybe.
