Dragon Clan, New World book release
After a time-out to write other things, I went back and wrote the beginning of a new series of Dragon Clan books. The timeframe is set well after the first series, the evil Breslau have made good on their war efforts and now rule Princeton. The characters in the new series are older, more mature, the stories more complex. Of course, there are new dangers and enemies. The challenge of writing the first book of the new series was trying to balance information from the first. Going too deeply into the past will bore the readers of the first series--not providing enough information will leave new readers hanging. The references to the earlier series were reviewed and rewritten endlessly, and hopefully it all fits together. The second book of the series if far easier to write. It feels like writing about old friends. I've already had compliments and jeers for the new series, but we'll see where it goes from here.
