309I&#8217;ve been a devoted reader of the Yashim series (save the Baklava Club, which hasn&#8217;t reached India yet) and intend to write on it for my weekly literary column for my agency. May I ask you a few questions about the series?</p>

416Hello Jason,</p>
417<p>You Sir are a genius! I have been in the Istanbul/ottoman &#8220;phase&#8221; since I read your Ottoman history book + Yashim books. I am on book #4 and a bit sad there is no more Yashim after the Baklava club. Is there a chance of book #6?</p>
418<p>(Thanks to your books: I was inspired to visit Istanbul twice and love everything about the place: the beautiful architecture, bustling bazaars, amazing food, great hammams, and those whirling dervishes).</p>
