I am currently working on the sequel to Lords of the Archipelago: Blood-Feud. This new book will pick up one month after the events of Blood-Feud. I'm excited to see where the Tavingtons will take me in the second book.
I don't have a title for the sequel yet. Stay tuned. I'll let you know as soon as I do.

As a young child, I lived in a house in a city that came under military control. As the streets of that city became less safe, more walls were built, closing off homes and even groups of homes within protected compounds. Our house was part of a closed off group of three homes. The compound created was structured in such a way that one wall was built across a neighbor's driveway. There was some urgency to the building, since the security situation was deteriorating rapidly, and the wall was built so quickly that the neighbor's car, which was parked on his driveway, ended up on our side of the newly constructed wall. Temporarily, of course. Or so we thought. As it turned out, that car sat in front of our house, right beside the wall, for twenty years. Eventually, it rusted through and had to be removed. During its stay, we never moved it. In the early days of the military taking control, there was so much confusion; people coming and going, impromptu construction projects, the imposition of martial law--and when the dust settled, there was a car sitting in our yard. My brother and I never knew the full story behind that car. To this day, it's a mystery that I would dearly love to unravel and solve.

Lords of the Archipelago: Blood-Feud is actually my most recent book, and it is an adaptation of a script I wrote years ago, when I imagined myself a screenwriter. Usually, books are adapted into scripts, but in this instance I went the opposite direction. It was a comfortable journey, in that I was already familiar with the characters and the storylines. All in all, I think it went well, and so far readers of Lords of the Archipelago: Blood-Feud seem to be enjoying it.
