I was asked a question on a message board that I frequent that I believe is worth a blog post.
[quote=10-22Plinker;19077498]When is book two being published?[/quote]
First off, thank you for what I consider a compliment. I am flattered.
I gave some thought to the question and have a couple of thoughts.
“A Wake of Vultures” is a story that I lived with for over a year. There were a couple of times that I hit a wall as to where the story was going. Once was almost 8 weeks which was when I wrote “A Republic, if you can keep it” (Available as a Kindle e-book now), as a blog series. I had also outlined a number of other stories as a follow up in the series.
When I published on 8/26/18, it was my intention to immediately start on Book 2.
Funny thing is I sat at the computer and stared at a blank screen with no words coming. It was as if I mentally couldn’t let go of the first story. As of this morning, 9/29/2018, the muse is speaking to me again and I need to decide which of the remaining five stories goes into the hopper next. I have started roughing out character biographies that are currently generic enough to go into either one.
Secondly, I have found out that this book business is not like “Field of Dreams”. You can build it, but if you don’t market it, your story sits out there in the cold, lonely and ignored. So I need to figure out a better marketing plan for “A Wake of Vultures”.
So, to answer your question, hopefully, I have learned something by writing the first two books and the plan is to have book two written, polished, edited and published around 4/1/2019. Depending on which one I go with, the title will be “C. Auris” or “Chaos Warhammer”.
