Writing the Sequel

I keep getting asked when the sequel to TIAF: Unit Zodiac - Failure Is Not Acceptable will be done.

Honestly, I have no idea. I'm in the middle of the book right now and I write when I am not ears deep in researching Ancient Roman History.

These books are a labor of love for me. I started writing them because it was a gift that I could give to some very special people in my life. I honestly never expected to publish them...at all. I didn't think my writing was good enough for that. The Very Special People, however, disavowed that notion and so, I attempted to publish traditionally.

Didn't work. I sent out inquiries for two years and didn't even get a rejection letter - which rather upsets me because I wanted on to frame.

So, instead, I published on my own and I am happy with the result. Yeah, my formatting skills need some work, but the book is good.

Yesterday, I was gifted with a copy of my own book (something I didn't own because I hadn't ordered one for me yet) and those Very Special People - the Original Unit Zodiac (they're mentioned on the dedication page!) - had signed it - thanking me.

Today, my youngest daughter told me that her fiance's roommate 'stole' my book from said fiance and read Unit Zodiac in three days and is now demanding a sequel.

All I can say is this: Yes - the second book is in the works. Yes - I have the third book planned out. And - yes, they go back to get Wally before moving on to the actual reason for their mission and that...I can't tell you about at the moment...but it will be...an event.

So...look forward to Unit Zodiac returning, new characters being introduced, new issues, new successes, and a lot of adventure. The Meroungians haven't won...yet...and we'll see what the Empire and Unit Zodiac do to keep them from whatever their actual goal is...

Remember, Life is an Adventure! Live It!
