A third book is coming and it will have some exciting twists and turns! I am hoping it will be ready early in 2019
Greg Johnson
Yes! The next book in the story of Kelvin and Elizabeth, which is titled Across the Golden Desert, is currently being edited. I am expecting it to be ready for release by October.

Before I begin to write I like to diagram the entire book by chapter. I then map out the details and events of each chapter. For me, having a written plan allows me to just sit down and begin writing. So, I guess there are two phases to my writing. The thinking and development phase, when I map out the story, and the writing phase when I put it on paper.

Stick with it. There were many times when I wondered if what I was writing was any good or not. In fact, a year in to Beyond the Red Mountains I scrapped almost the entire story and started over. Persistence is key.

In my mind, the full story of Kelvin and Elizabeth will be a series of three books. The second book, Across the Golden Desert, is currently being edited and should be ready in 2016. I have begun to write the final installment, Over the Blue Sea, which I plan on being ready for release in 2017.

I had been developing the story in my mind for months before I actually started writing, but it was my stepson who provided the final inspiration. He was twelve years old at the time and I wanted to write something that would be both entertaining to keep him engaged, but that would also help teach him how to process the emotions and overcome some of the challenges of being a teenager.
