I never know when I send an email out into the cyber-ether, what might transpire. I recently emailed author, Priscilla Cummings; I had read/heard her YA book, A Face First (see annotation below) and wanted to learn more about her and if there would be a sequel. I had located her email address with some assistance from www.infoeyes.org librarians. We exchanged several emails; I learned she had no immediate plans for a sequel but was very interested in doing an interview.
