In my last blog I made reference to how difficult it is to work on a sequel without wanting to add much of the previous book. I wrote and re-wrote the first 100 pages three times before I found the formula that would allow me to tell a continuing story which began in the first book without too much backstory. The trick was to discover how to tell the ongoing story and working in bits and pieces (in short pieces) from the original book so readers will at least know what the heck is going on.

 Now that I've struck upon that formula I'm really into telling this new story and only wish that my fingers could slide across the keyboard as fast as my brain is spitting out thoughts.
