I've set out the sequel ideas for Ritzko, and I think I actually like where it's going.
1st Installment -- The Final Commission of Bastian Freeman -- written
Bastian takes on a job that may be too much for him to handle and ends up in deeper trouble than he realizes, from the POV of Bastian Freeman.
2nd Installment -- From the Desk of Detective David Johnson -- in progress
The events from Bastian's initial disappearance to when Jenna is adopted, from the POV of David Johnson.
3rd Installment -- Gale DeWinter's Army -- planned
After Jenna's adoption, Gale and Ritz easily keep their involvement in Bastian's disappearance from Jenna, but the rest of the clan is cryptic, Gale begins to doubt Ritz, from the POV of Gale DeWinter.
(totally can't wait to write all the flapper goodness Paris flashbacks)
4th Installment -- Unmasking Ritz --planned
7 years after Bastian's disappearance, Jenna inherits everything her brother has left her and begins an investigation of her own, from the POV of Jenna Freeman
Here's the challenge for myself: the first book runs 50~51k words and just under 200 pages, I am going to limit myself and make an attempt to make each book as uniform in size as possible, while keeping the same writing style for each of them. All will be written like you're inside the narrator's head, and all of them will have unique personalities. I'm excited for the project, and slightly leery of the challenge, but, hey, I wrote the original in 10 days, should be a snap, right?
I dream when I write.
