When you're on a roll, you keep on rolling. I asked a few fellow authors to preview my cozy mystery, "Dead Air," before sending it out to publishers and agents. After reading it, their first words were, "will there be a sequel?" Oh yes, there will be. As a matter of fact, most publishers ask for a series in this genre, a tidbit I wasn't aware of. But, I was already thinking of a sequel and I spent the weekend outlining how radio station WRCB and our sleuths, Judy Campbell and Art Foley, get mixed up in another murder investigation.
I have a long way to go with it but I couldn't stand it and dove back into the world of 1943 Crystal Bay to revisit my friends Judy and Art. I became so involved I had this urge to keep writing so I ditched the outline for a bit and ended up spending the weekend immersed in writing a full first chapter setting up the next book.
I feel very comfortable writing in this genre now especially since the first manuscript is receiving good reviews. Hopefully from publishers and / or agents who are looking at it right now.
