A lot of discussion lately has been about potential for sequels in this series, but unfortunately - I do not see that happening, for a number of reasons. It has taken me 12 years damn near to get this book to where I wanted it, I highly doubt I have that many years to put together a meaningful sequel.
Put blatantly, I'm a, in my own opinion, terrible storyteller, haha. Given it has taken this long to come up with something I can be happy with, I highly doubt there will be much in the way of anything else beyond this novel unless I change genres in some way, which the ideas I have are good, but not really enough to cause me to devote my life to it. While I enjoy writing, may even be considered a talent, I'd say once this one is finished, that will be all she wrote for my brief authoring career.
The only genre I have any measure of interest in is modern sci-fi and thriller-horror lite such as zombies and mutations ala Resident Evil. However, trying to make anything worth while from that without drifting into survival reads is difficult. If I do delve into another genre, it will be in that mold of Resident Evil in some form - but that's only if I find a way to not stop my retirement after this current project.
Chapter eight should be complete in a few days and the second half is beginning to shape up pretty well. Even if this should be my one and only accomplishment, I hope that its something that I can be proud of because it brings interest from readers that will hopefully enjoy the novel for what its worth.
Short post, but just needed to get that out there. Until next time.
