The second novel is fully written but is in the process of editing. Since I also work a full-time job this process seems to take me forever, but as I want to get you guys an excellent follow-up novel I am going to take my time. I have made the statement to try and get this novel released by the end of the year, and I am a pretty far into it now so I believe that is still an achievable goal.
I'm so excited to know that there are readers out there waiting for the sequel and I guarantee you will like it.

When I am having a hard time getting through a particular scene in my novels I like to read a book. Nothing hones your writing like reading other author's writing.

The absolute best thing is when people actually download or order your book. It means so much to me when I see someone take the time to give my novel a read. There are millions of books out there, but when you see someone invest their free time in your writing, it really feels good.

My primary advice is to work with a group of editors, formatters, and proofreaders. Having a group of dedicated individuals makes this entire process much easier. Aside from that, just stick with it. Not every idea is going to be a success, but if you just keep on writing, eventually something will take off.

I am currently working on getting The Extinction Pandemic out to the masses, and as soon as that goal is on its way, I will begin re-writing book two of the series.

Writing just comes to me very naturally. I can write a few pages, stop to take care of my family, and pickup where I left off. I cram it in wherever I can, and over time, I get my projects completed.

The idea for The Extinction Pandemic was actually created when I wrote this series the first time. Since then I re-wrote the whole series, starting with this novel. The original idea came to me about eight years ago when I wrote a 70 page manuscript for the story. It's taken me three iterations of that story to get it to today's story.
