This is connected to the world of the novels. It's slated to be a three book series.

One of the interesting things to me in writing Wicked Lovely was the question of Winter Girls who'd become free of the curse. That topic was one I couldn't explore in the novel, so I started writing a story about Rika, one of the former Winter Girls. What would they do? What would life be like? What are the complications?

When my agent told me there was an offer for a manga series; I knew this story was the one I wanted to explore.
