Setting for "The Second Shooter"
I have now started writing "The Second Shooter", the sequel to my first novel, "Goliath".
In the first novel, David was in high school. In the sequel, David heads off to Wilfrid Laurier University and rooms with his older brother Robert, who is enrolled at the University of Waterloo (my alma mater).
Last week I visited Waterloo to re-familiarize myself with the campus and the changes are staggering. I was particularly interested in the Quantum-Nano Centre and the work they are doing. It confirmed my initial thinking that Waterloo, and in particular, the universities, would make a great setting for the book.
The book is still several months from completion, but having a somewhat familiar setting will make it a lot easier to write.
FYI, in real life, my youngest son just started the MBA program at Wilfrid Laurier so there are probably many more trips back there to come.
