Sort of. Okay, not really.
But POSSESSION will have a companion that will be published by Simon Pulse (Simon & Schuster) in Summer 2012. A lot of you haven't read POSSESSION yet, so I don't want to spoil too much.
Here's the Publisher's Marketplace deal: Elana Johnson's FUGITIVE, a companion to POSSESSION, again to Anica Rissi at Simon Pulse, for publication in Summer 2012, by Michelle Andelman at Regal Literary (NA).
Doesn't tell you much, does it? *lips zipped*
Okay, I will spill a couple of things:
1. FUGITIVE (companion novel, tentatively titled) is set in the same story world as POSSESSION.
2. There are two new narrating characters that you'll get to follow and experience some wicked control stuff with.
3. You will see some characters from POSSESSION on the page in FUGITIVE, so there are sequential elements in the companion novel.
4. No, I will not tell you who you'll see. But...
5. Someone flies.
6. Someone lies.
7. Someone dies.
Okay, enough secretz!
The real question is: Should I celebrate with bacon, sour patch kids, or Big Macs? Hmm...decisions, decisions.
And holy brown cows, Batman! There is an amazing POSSESSION contest going on right now via Ali Cross, Christine Fonseca, Beth Revis, Lisa & Laura Roecker, Jamie Harrington, and Shannon Messenger! CHECK IT OUT.

Congratulations! That is terrific news! So happy for you and Lila with their sequel. So cool. :)
Congratulations and Ummm Bacon is the only real choice there unless they are bacon flavored sour patch kids and bacon on the big mac!
That is SO exciting. Congrats and please celebrate with something besides bacon (from your vegetarian friend.)
Congrats!! How about you try a combo of all three? Might be on to something there....
Congrats, congrats, congrats! I am very excited to hear that! ....**things I want to say that are too spoilery**...
YAY!
**Holding my breath and praying for an ARC** (lol)
Congrats! Can't wait to read both!
I suggest you cook wrap the burger in bacon and then sprinkle the sour patch kids on top of it. Yum.
Congrats, I've been waiting for this announcement. Yay!!!!!! :D
Congrats, Elana!!! :-) :-) :-)
WOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Throw some bacon on the Big Mac and have the sour patch kids for dessert. Win all the way around. =o)
Way to go on the companion novel. I can't wait to read Possession and now I'll have another book to look forward to. Congratulations!
WOO-HOO - congratulations!
And DUH - celebrate with all of them, of course!
Flying! Lying! Dying!

Congrats!!! And now I am dying to read it! Can't wait!
Awesome! CONGRATS!!!
Woohoo! you're such a rockstar! So excited for you!!
YAY! Congratulations! And, I can't wait to read POSSESSION. Just waiting for Amazon to send it. *laughs*
Um, Elana. How could you ask such an easily answered question? You should celebrate with bacon, Big Macs, AND sour patch kids.
Duh ;-)
*squee* I'm already excited about Fugitives. I have so many unanswered questions.
My daughter read Possession and really liked it. I hoped she would write a blog post for me, but she's waiting for school to get out I guess. Sometimes I never know what's going on in her head. :)
YAY!!!!! But I still don't know whether that means I'm going to have closure...I need closure! Also, I didn't get past the bacon, so I'd go with that. :)
AWESOME! You teaser, you!
Can't you have bacon on your Big Mac? And finish off with Oreos AND sour patch??
Congrats on all your amazingness!
That's wonderful!! (except that someone dies) LOL
I still have to read Possession. Looking forward to it though. :)
Congratulations! And such great teasers about what's to come.
Congratulations!! I'd probably choose bacon to celebrate with. It's just that good. :D
Yay!!! Congratulations!!! We readers definitely appreciate it, too. :) You should celebrate with all three!
YAY!!!! And congratulations!
Definitely go with the Sour Patch Kids!!!
Thank goodness, because a true sequel wouldn't work.
Sounds like fun! Can't wait to hear more about it.
And I vote for bacon! Delicious bacon... mmmm....
WOOT! I am so happy for you, Elana! Congrats!!
Angela @ The Bookshelf Muse
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another secret I no longer have to keep!
*tosses confetti*
Congratulations! I vote for sour patch kids, because I haven't had them in a long time. Bacon should be consumed every weekend!
Is this a publicity stunt?
Flies...lies....DIES?!?!
You know how to hook 'em!
That is VERY EXCITING! CONGRATS!!!
Also, why do you have to be such a tease?! And a rhyming one at that.
Celebrate with bacon. THEN have some sour patch watermelons (my favorite!) for dessert. ;)
Wait! WHAT?! NO SEQUEL????!!! Please, God, tell me she's joking! Please, please, please be joking.
Sour patch kids for sure! my fav! and yay for another book!!
I would just about kill for a big mac right now. Ok, not really but it sounds good.
With some bacon and sour patch kids on the side.
I cannot wait to read Possession. I'm totally emailing you after...just a heads up.lol
Great news, you must be stoked! Can't wait to read Possession!
Oh yay! Congrats. :D
You are such a tease!
And having two new narrating characters is so cool. I can see already how amazing this will be.
WOOHOO! That's awesome. Sour patch kids all the way! Sorry, kind of biased (you can sneak in some bacon there). :) I can't wait to read your book! Four more days...
Crazy exciting about Fugitives!
I like bacon snatched from its own juices just as it's about to burn. Melt in your mouth goodness!
So cool! I'm going to read Possession while I'm in Turkey--double the fun!
And definitely celebrate with Sour Patch Kids. They're the best!
I'd have picked Licorice Twizzlers, if they had been a choice, but since they weren't, have to go with the Sour Patch Kids!
: )
That's pretty stinking AWESOME, I gotta say.
Also, I vote bacon. :)
I just saw the deal on PM! Go Elana!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Can't wait to jump back into this crazy world! Congratulations, Elana!
Can't wait to find out which characters resurface and which new ones come up. Congratulations, Elana!
Yipeeeeee! I've grown a little tired of YA series lately but I LOVE companion novels. A little familiarity but new characters and story lines. Love it!
Squeeeeeee. I love companion novels. Can't wait. Now I just need to get my pre-ordered copy of Possession. Hurry up release date!!!!!
That's awesome, congratulations Elana! And definitely bacon.
Super exciting!! bacon wrapped big mac with sour patch kids as an appetizer. You CAN have it all!!
Congrats! Celebrate with the Big Mac and sour patch kids for dessert tonight. Then do bacon for breakfast tomorrow.
So exciting! Next week can't come fast enough! Sure was I could be in Utah!
Love it!! :) CANNOT wait for the companion book!! :)
Yay, that's awesome! I come back from vacation to learn such wonderful news. I'm so happy o you!
EXCELLENT news! I was going to send you a tweet asking about this, but I forgot! :) :) :)
I'm so ridiculously happy about this news!!! As for what to celebrate with, I say sour patch kids and ginger ale. Kick it old school, E.
Hi Elana,
Congrats on the release of Possession in a few days. The companion book sounds like another winner. You're on a roll! I'm looking forward to following you and your work. I say you splurge and have some bacon! Crispy. Yep, that sounds so yummy.
Yay, Yay, Yay!! I'm so happy for you! I hope you had a great celebration. :D
I just saw this in PW and raced over to say congrats.
CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats, Elana! I can't wait to read both POSSESSION and FUGITIVE.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Go all the way - maple bacon. You must be so excited to jump back into the world of POSSESSION.
CONGRATS! That is fantastically exciting!
You are a woman after my own heart with the bacon and sour patch kids. Gorged on them at the movie last night...
Congratulations on your amazing news. I'm taking Possession with me on my summer trip - can't wait to read it!
Congrats! That's awesome news. So excited for you. I'm picking up POSSESSION tomorrow. Can't wait to read it. Happy Launch day. I don't know how you could eat bacon right now. With ten hours left on the countdown, I'd be hovering over the toilet,chicky.
AWESOME NEWS ELANA!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!
I'm glad to hear there'll be more because that ending definitely made me want more!
This is the best news I've heard all week! I was hoping for a sequel/companion novel, so I'm way excited to hear there will be a companion novel...with sequel elements. :)
Congratulations!! And you should definitely celebrate with some Big Macs!
This is amazingly awesome!! CONGRATS!!! Slap some bacon on your Big Mac and SPK's for dessert! :)
I read about the sale on YALitChat and rushed over here...looks like a lot of people beat me to it! CONGRATS on selling your new book. I hope it's followed by many more. :-)
