Black Eyed Boy being published was a whirlwind of fun and
excitement. It was something that I had always wanted to do. I ticked a
gigantic box on my bucket list. But, I always knew that there would be more to
come from my characters. So much happened to them within the pages of the first
book but the ending was left tantalisingly open for so many more adventures.
I found that having a book about to be released helps to
focus the mind. I knew that I wanted to do this all over again. And, thanks to
sleepless nights and non-stop typing Saturday writing days, I somehow managed
to complete a first draft of the sequel – Green Eyed Girl - before Black Eyed
Boy was even released. I submitted it to the publisher and I signed a contract
last week. Before the year is out, the sequel will be published. This makes
2015 my most creative and productive year … and we’re still only in July. I
have started to write the third and final instalment of this trilogy. I plan to
take a little more time with this project as I aim to have all the threads tied
up and I want the most beautiful and satisfying ending possible.
Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. The reviews on Amazon
for Black Eyed Boy are amazing. Most of them beg for the sequel as soon as
possible (this is the biggest compliment!) and it makes me happy to be able to
offer that to readers before this year will draw to an end.
As previously, I will be remaining tight-lipped about the
storyline. But, I will tell you that the novel begins just over a year after
the ending of Black Eyed Boy. Favourite characters (Mrs Bishop, anyone?) will
return and there are some new characters joining the story too. If Black Eyed
Boy was the emotional read, Green Eyed Girl will be the tense read. Start
growing your nails now. And get ready to bite them all off.
