The prequel
Just this week I started writing the first draft on the prequel to my debut novel Falling Up. First chapter is done, and I've done another 600 words or so on chapter 2.
Although I published in February, I finished the first draft on that novel in November last year. I've been editing and promoting it ever since, and planning, plotting, outlining the prequel and the sequel ever since. And writing th Read more of this blog post »

question:
I had a heart attack and subsequent (6) bypass surgery the year before, and as I was recovering from that, I decided it was now or never. Writing the novel was a wonderful experience; I'm hooked! I'm presently planning out both a prequel and a sequel

“And here we are today, with stupid people still doing stupid things to other people. The king of California who rigged a bomb in his office building, so if anyone ever killed him, he would kill them back. A king here in Venezuela who enslaved people to make toxic chemicals that other people would buy and make him rich. Chemicals which would make those people slaves as well, needing to take those chemicals again and again until they died from them.”

They killed their enemies, but it made their enemies kill them at the same time.”

“What trade brought you to Venezuela?” Peter smiled grimly. “Not trade. Lately, I've been somewhat distracted by other concerns. I suppose I could say it's a matter of protecting the ability to trade.” Alberto saw his face take on a fierce look. “There can be no trade when people take whatever they want from others. Including their freedom — or even their lives.”
