A Goodreads user asked Nik Krasno:

hi Nik, just wondering when you're contemplating your next book....do you plan the route it will take before you put pen to paper - or is it a case of it evolving as you write?

Nik Krasno Hi Chantelle, thanks for your interest in my writing. The answer would be - both or depends. If regarding the first book I knew pretty much what I wanted in it and how it would end (although my co-author added a lot from his own), the sequels were far less preconceived and a lot has been spontaneous and impromptu. Also, an editor of the 2-nd book, for example, convinced me to change the ending a bit and I agreed with his arguments. That's just my process. You'll find authors that have it all structured in advance and others that rely solely on instantaneous creative imagination. 😎
