I had a similar problem with The Adventures of the Billy Goats Gruff, which I deliberately wrote as a complete book. I have outlines for two further books with the same characters, but each one moving further away from the world of magic and trolls that they have been in contact with. I have also sketched out some chapters in narrative outline, but the rest of the books are unformed, as I have moved on to other projects.

It is on my to do list, but quite low down for now. My current focus is on a YA book looking at an apocalyptic setting, surviving without adults.My wife tells me that it has been done before, but as there are only supposed to be seven stories in the world, what hasn't? The key is to write the story in a new and interesting way and to be true to your own creativity.
Three chapters down, stalled on fourth, but should be back on track soon. Just had some bad news on my completed manuscript, "The Lord's Poet"(historical fiction). My agent has stopped doing agency work on fiction, so I'm back on my own to find a publisher.
