- The working title for this book is 'Reaper Madness'
- This story is all fantasy/urban fantasy/pnr, rather than a contemporary romance that turns into fantasy
- The story begins a few months after Living Dead Girl ends
- Jen, Jack and Sam all play prominent roles; PJ makes a brief appearance
- There will need to be a book three to resolve the story completely
- There are a couple huge, unexpected twists
Now, a few random thoughts before I send you on your way:
It didn't start out this way when I first thought up Living Dead Girl, but there is a whole, huge, bigger picture that ties this story all together. There are reasons behind many of the things that happen in book one that will come to light later in the story. I'll be honest--I'm a little nervous about book two. It borrows from various mythologies, and half the story takes place in the afterlife (or, rather, an alternate set of worlds where human souls go between reincarnations). To me, it's a great deal easier weaving supernatural elements into the real world than creating a whole new one and making it believable. We'll see if my readers 'buy into it'.
Awesome, how about "Living Dead Girl in Reaper Madness" or "Living Dead Girl: Reaper Madness" to let people know it's part of a series or are you cutting all ties with the zombie theme?
ReplyDeleteYeah, we may end up having to name the series, not sure how it'll work yet. Actually, zombies do play a role in this one two (not any of the main characters). Something to think about!
ReplyDeleteSounds great, Nessie! I can't wait to read it :-)
ReplyDeleteHmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteI too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?
I'd certainly appreciate it.

I'm probably the last person to ask for advice, haha, but I would just say write what you're interested in writing about. It could be like a journal, or a series of articles, or even product/book/movie reviews. Doesn't matter, as long as you're interested in it. Post regularly, even if it's only once a month. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey, just finished Living Dead Girl literally five minutes ago and I thought it was so cool. I got a copy of it through Goodreads and I will be posting a review sometime tomorrow. When does the sequel come out? I guess if you just finished a month ago then it won't be out for quiet awhile. Thanks again, Simon
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I don't have a release date for book two as of yet, but will definitely keep everyone posted.
