More Boys Versus Girls Books?

Question:

I’ve read some of your Alice Books and I love them. I also have read all of you Boys vs. Girls series and Ioved those too. I was wondering if you are going to write more about them and I was thinking if you are and you’re having a writers block I could help, I was thinking Coach Malloy comes back to Buckham and gets a job as a High school football coach, and they move into the Corby’s house maybe, and Caroline has an upcoming play and shes the star and she needs to practice her lines since there is a lot of lines so Bill & Danny help her and Wally sees that Bill & Danny is going into the girls backyard by himself and is curious. Then maybe Coach Malloy forces Eddie to be on the softball team because shes getting older and the boys will be getting tougher and Jake, Tony & Steve help her try to convince Coach Malloy that Eddie could be on the team one more year. Beth starts taking art lesson from Josh. While Wally is wondering why the boys are suddenly being nice to the girls. I was thinking that could be another book you could make for the Boys vs. Girls series. Anyway I love reading and I couldn’t put your books down. I don’t like writing very much I only like reading and math. When I heard about the Boys vs. Girls series I quickly got on the library site and I put a hold on you’re books, when I got to the library there were so many books I put on hold they had to get a basket and put the books in there and set them down at the bottom of the shelf. Enough about me lets talk about you what made you start writing the Alice books? Are you going to write more of the Alice books and the Boys vs. Girls books?

Phyllis replied:

I’m afraid there won’t be any more girls/versus/boys books.  I decided that twelve books were enough, but I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them.  You have quite an imagination.  Perhaps you could work up that story yourself.   When I wrote the first Alice book, I just wanted to write about a motherless girl being raised by her dad and older brother.  But so many readers wanted more that I finally decided to make it a series.
