Challenges of writing the sequel

Lord of the Hunt (Sooty Feathers #2), sequel to my debut novel, Resurrection Men, has just been released by Elsewhen Press.

As such, I thought I'd briefly talk about some of the challenges in writing a sequel.

Firstly, there's the question of how much to refer to the previous book's events. Even assuming most people have read the previous book(s), some time may have passed, and it's always good to Read more of this blog post »

David Craig liked Stella Rozenfeld's review of Thorns of a Black Rose: "Thorns of a Black Rose is one of those fantasy novels that doesn’t just drop you into another world, it makes you feel the grit, heat, and life of it.

David Craig liked William's review of Lucifer & Son (Sooty Feathers Book 3): "I thought this was as enjoyable as the first two books.
