So, the news is out! I’m writing more books. Specifically, more books about the characters in the Mara Dyer trilogy, from the point of view of Noah Shaw. You can read the announcement about the new series here: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/02/michelle-hodkin-mara-dwyer-trilogy-exclusive
I am so, so excited to be writing this series, I can’t even tell you. But I can tell you this: my hope, always, was that the Mara Dyer trilogy would be satisfying for readers on its own, but from the very, very first words of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, I knew that what I was writing was an origin story. Which meant that by the end of her story, told from her point of view, there had to be quite a bit of ambiguity by necessity–what happened to certain characters, what would happen to them going forward, what some of them may or may not know about themselves by the end of her books, etc. But as Mara and Noah and Jamie and Daniel discovered at the end, the story doesn’t stop with them. There’s a much wider world of Carriers out there, and I badly wanted the chance to explore it. And thanks to you, I’m getting that chance. Not a day has gone by without being asked by a reader whether I’d consider writing books from Noah’s point of view, and it’s your enthusiasm for the series, four years after it debuted, that allowed me to get the chance to tell Noah’s story. His mind, his voice, his experience–it’s so different from Mara’s, it’s been strange and a bit unsettling getting into it. Expect the unexpected, is what I’m saying, but also know that I care, deeply, about these characters and about your attachment to them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly.
What happens after happily ever after? By the end of the Mara Dyer Trilogy, Noah Shaw and Mara Dyer discovered their world-changing abilities along with their love for each other. In the first book of The Shaw Confessions, Noah’s father is murdered, and Noah inherits unimaginable riches, terrible knowledge, and the chance to find other people like himself. But as Noah and Mara begin their global search, they’ll discover that they have very different goals: Noah wants peace. Mara wants power. When the girl of your dreams turns the world into a nightmare, what do you choose? The girl or the world?
