We're in the
final stages of proofing and I'm looking forward to putting this baby to bed.
I never really intended this to be a trilogy
at all. I hate trilogies; they're as bad as cliffhangers, or major
motion pictures of books that stretch ONE book into two--or three- pictures.
Thank you very much, Harry Potter, for starting that trend. I thought
this series would wind up at two books, at best.
Well,
the first book, Butterfly & Serpent (above) was already
clocking in at over 200 pages. Once I finished the first section of the
follow-up volumes, I realized this section would be completely different from
the rest of the material and would probably work best as a stand-alone.
Not to give
away too much, but in Book 2, Fathers & Daughters, Youssou is
forced to call on Jamai's help when a new situation rises, and he has to
confront his family's pains of the past. Jamai will come forward as a stronger,
more assertive personality.
For Book 3, because of their actions in the
previous adventure Jamai & Youssou find themselves thrown into the wider
world. Their relationship will be tested, with the usual troubles one can
expect from two very young people.
That's all
for now. I'll keep everybody up to date as things move along.
