Sequels, updates, and more!
Anyone who tells you that surely writing a sequel or ongoing book in a series couldn't be that hard since all the hard work was established in the first book should be smacked upside the head with Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
You would think that since your characters have been established, your group or series background set. As the author of two different series let me say that it's not as easy as one would think.
You have to make deadly certain that you maintain all character quirks, flaws, etc and things in a series really should mesh. One must have an unending supply of sticky notes to keep track of what this character did or said or how he or she would react.
So for all you new writers just coming to Goodreads, if you write a series make certain to note everything little thing because you never know when a character's most tiny little quirk may come back to haunt you.
That said, thanks to a wonderful fellow author, Magnolia Belle, the first title in my S.E.A.L. Team Omega series, Flames of Betrayal, has undergone a huge revision process and is now back live in ebook form for Kindle, Smashwords and on Goodreads. The paperback should go back live next week and at a lower price! That makes me happy since I like $8.99 a lot better. Now the fun comes to find a way to let everyone who read the first version know that there is an edited 2nd version out.
The sequel to the book is...ready but is undergoing checking for grammar/style issues and though it won't be as tweaked as Flames this first attempt won't be as flawed since it has been checked for errors once. I'm hoping for a June release though I may try for a 4th of July since it is a Navy SEAL title. Patience is still needed for this one.
Ryan's title for Celtic Evil is still in the planning/plotting stage since my lead character isn't giving up the plot so easily. Though for those who have read either of the other books in this series should know that Ryan's a stubborn man so he should be interesting to write...or turn into something.
