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 »

Thorns of a Black Rose by David    Craig
"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. The city of Mask is as much a character as the people who move through its streets, from the Mercha" Read more of this review »
