Just a short note here. Frank and I have basically finished our
second book, a sequel to Blood on Blood. It’s being worked over, proofed, prodded,
pushed around and cleaned up. We stayed with the same recipe in terms of how we
would actually write it; kept it first person, continued to alternate our
chapters, characters and writing. We tried to keep a similar pace and stay as
close as we could to the overall style of the first book. We wanted
similarities and connection.
This book will have its marked differences as well though. Without
letting the cat out of the bag, I can say that the new story has an almost entirely
new cast of characters. It has a new setting, a totally new story line and a different
all around tone to it. Make no mistake about it though, it’s a continuance of
our first story and there is a third being cooked up right now. Trilogy has a nice
ring to it.
The writing collaboration thing with Frank continues to work
like a charm for me. For him, I’m sure it’s like a sweaty nightmare that won’t
end. A slow motion dream where he’s running in place - trying to get away so
badly but he just can’t move fast enough.
We’re very excited about this second book and can’t wait for
it to be released. ‘This second book’ does have a title and we’ll be out with
that soon. I’ll let Frank decide when to announce it and some other details as
they come.
And finally, (I heard that sigh) please help us spread the
word on Blood on Blood. If you’ve read it, we thank you very much and hope you
enjoyed it. If you haven’t tried it yet, we would be thrilled if you gave it a
try. We’re biased, but we think you might like this story and the one coming. To anyone that has
thought about it, but maybe just hasn’t gotten around to it, we would love to
get a few more reviews up on Amazon. To date we have a grand total of 2. We’re
thinking of bribing you if we have to, or even blackmail if necessary. We have
no scruples.
