Popular Answered Questions

Is it possible that we will get a Little Tragedy sequel in the future? I really want to know more about the sleep and the family in general. :)

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. Goodreads doesn't provide any sort of alert when a question comes in, and I missed this one. My apologies.

T…moreTirion-

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. Goodreads doesn't provide any sort of alert when a question comes in, and I missed this one. My apologies.

Thanks for asking about The Little Tragedy! I've actually gotten a form of this question a number of times, and that really does impact my writing roadmap, so to speak. If I hear enough chatter that people want a sequel, I'll absolutely consider it.

The truth is, a sequel never was actually planned. I've actually never planned out a sequel. My intent is always to write standalone stories, and it's done when it's done. I've just released my first sequel, though, building off my book The Solitary Apocalypse, because there was demand for it, and because I felt like there really was more story to be told.

So, that is to say, I didn't intend for TLT to end with a cliffhanger to be answered in further stories. I did intend to leave things somewhat open ended, and let the reader fill in the blanks herself, to some extent. Though a lot of clues are there for the reader who's looking for them. It's a little bit of a mystery wrapped in a dystopian suspense.

That's a long way of saying ... Yes, it's possible. And getting more possible the more people like you I hear from. If I had to decide today, I'd leave it where it is. But a year from now, if the demand is there, I'll go back and re-evaluate to see if there's more to be told with that family.

Thanks again for the note! And sorry again for the delayed response. I'm usually much better about that. Have a great week, and don't hesitate to get in touch again.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Tell your editor you can't meet deadline because you have writer's block. He'll laugh and tell you to shove your writer's block up your ass. To a journalist, there's no such thing as writer's block, because there simply can't be. I still have that attitude.(less)

Anatomy of a Book Cover

My new book cover is here for “The Solitary Apocalypse,” as you may be aware. It’s not exactly a secret at this point. I’m really happy with what I ended up with. Since I just got the proof copy of the print version, I wanted to dive into it a bit and look at why I made the decisions with it that I did.

Here’s the front cover. There are lots of things going on here. First, there’s the tagline
