Judgment Day: a brief update
Work on the sequel to Future Imperfect, a novel entitled Judgment Day, continues. After some trial and error, I think I’ve found the most solid way forward for the book. Having made some critical decisions about the direction of the book, as well as the direction of the Future Imperfect series, I can share the following information:
1. Most of the major characters from Future Imperfect will return, as will a couple minor ones. Their roles in the upcoming story will be significantly different from the last book. For example, with the business of the Rahricht murder resolved, eight-year-old Sam will find himself with less to do. Other characters, though, will get the opportunity to tell their own distinct stories in this world.
2. Whereas Future Imperfect presented itself primarily as a murder mystery, the new book will be a bit more expansive. Science fiction, fantasy, and even horror elements will be much more prominent in the second volume.
3. Judgment Day will keep itself entirely within the confines of the 20th century. We won’t see any more of the 21st century until the third book, currently entitled Fragile Lives.
That’s it for now. Hopefully I’ll be making some more progress soon. In the meantime, those of you who haven’t yet can pick up the Kindle version of Future Imperfect at Amazon for the low, low price of $2.99. Why not give it a try?
