Wendi. The sequel to the Hangman's Replacement is coming out next summer. The third book should be out within six months thereafter. The books' website will also be reworked to reflect the direction the books are going and to give it a better aesthetic.
Due to unforseeable events, the writing and publication process has been delayed. We also have been collecting feedback from readers which has helped modify plans for subsequent books. However, first drafts of Books 2 and 3 are nearly complete with ARCs expected by the end of the year for Book 2 at least.
I am open to engaging questions about the Hangman's Replacement series readers but expect that readers and interested parties use respectful language. It is not clear to me whether you finished Book 1 and are even open to the sequels but if you are, they are coming.

Brute force and getting into the right physical environment.

There is no such thing as a failed writer except the one who does not get around to writing at all. Imagine all those lost stories that were never born to so many wonderful and fertile minds.
If you have an inkling for story story you want to tell, just start writing. Don't see it is an epic project that will swallow your life. See it a series of incremental diary entries which when placed in sequence, can tell a cohesive and most exciting tale of lives lived.

My physical environment is everything. I love places with lots of light and where I can stand while writing (or using a bar stool which is more elevated).
Also, I need extended periods of time, at least three hours, to pick up momentum before the ideas really start to flow. Therefore, I am a "binge writer" who works best when I have large chucks of time to work without interruption or the prospect of major responsibilities in the days ahead.

You imagination is the primary authority you need to consult. It is not like writing academic or research papers. "Truth" is largely what you construct from your imagination.

I am currently working on Book 2 in The Hangman's Replacement series. Book 2 is sub-titled: "Vultureman".
