(view spoiler)[Have you ever thought to write about one of the alternate realities where David is the protagonist as Father originally intended? Or perhaps a piece about his revelation to finally give Carolyn a try? Maybe a chapter about what happens in the reality were Carolyn is the antagonist - and WINS?
Antagonist Carolyn. It's not fair that only Father got to see that play out. (hide spoiler)]

It's not fair that only Father got to see that play out.
A lot of times I come down on the side of "less is more," but I think you may have a point here.
The answer to your question is yes, I have given a little bit of thought to a red catalog Carolyn. You may or may not want to read the following--it's sort of vaguely a spoiler for a story that may never actually get written.
EDIT: For whatever reason, the spoiler tag doesn't seem to be working. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD

Up to you. So, one of the problems with writing a hypothetical future sequel to Mount Char is that Carolyn now has what is sometimes referred to as the Superman problem--she's so powerful that it would be tough to find a worthy antagonist for her.

Hey Scott, just finished up reading Mount Char and I had a fantastic time with it. It flowed so well and was an absolute blast to read. Look forward to whatever comes in the future. Do you ever plan on writing a sci fi novel? The scene towards the end where Carolyn replaces the Sun reminded me of a scene in Reynolds' Redemption Ark. Something about galaxies being represented on a small scale resonates with me.

I think I missed something, but did Carolyn resurrect Steve on her own in Det. Miner's house? And how did he instantly find himself in jail for murder, instead of waking up in the same place, like others did when they were resurrected? The optimist in me wonders if you ever considered a scenario where Carolyn gets what she wants-a happy life with Steve. Thank you for this book. Thank you so much.
