I finished the rough draft of the sequel to Aluminum Leaves yesterday.
It is a rough draft, but not that rough. Maybe it’s closer to a first draft. How about a 0.5 draft?
It’s called Copper Road and I’m pleased to report that some of the action actually happens on the story-world’s Copper Road, a caravan route.
I’m thrilled to have it all on the page, even if it is bit like bread dough that has risen and risen and is oozing over the sides of the pan. At least it holds together (I think) and it can be shaped.
What happens? Erin and Trevian must locate the portal that let the nasty pink parasites through into Trevian’s world. They hope to permanently close it. Things don’t always go according to plan, though.
Meanwhile, Trevian’s sister Aideen tries to hold her family and her family’s company together after her father has a serious accident, and someone stages a takeover of the company. Soon, Aideen is running out of options.
What can you expect? Here’s a list.
- Ambushes and bandits
- Flash floods
- Enigmatic caverns
- Two love stories
- Parasites! Magic! Horses!
- Double crosses and desperate plans
- Boardroom skull-duggery
- Old books and Hello Kitty
- Chocolate.
