Writing a sequel: pt2 For the series!
So as I round up Dead Phoenix's ending, work with my best friend on a cover (which is beautiful, I might add), and get ready to proof the heck out of Dead Phoenix I've found myself wondering...
Where do I go from there?
I'm not only talking about sequels here and there to add to the over arching narrative, but also... What happens after the "...And they lived happily ever after for all time!" at the end of the final book?
Do I just stop the series and restart something new?
And that's where the many story ideas I had as a kid come in and tell me "Yes and no. You'll start something kind of new, but use these concepts again."
It's a fun thought, yes, and even so, with two more novels in the works after the ending...
Wait, make that three. I just got an idea from a song.
Anyway, my ideal title progression is pretty much finalized in my head and on paper. It doesn't really work in any other order.
I'm pretty sure that Dead Phoenix will be ready by the end of the year, but I don't want to push it. That would just be insane!
