Having submitted Iron Falls to e-Quill Publishing on Wednesday morning, I find myself at a loss as to where from here. The story had taken me up to eight months, if not more, of writing and had its share of ups and downs. It had been been an experience, and the amount of support I got from certain individuals taught me a whole new bag of skills that I'm keen to utilise for my next writing project.
But the question is now, where to from here?
One thing I'm confident about is that Iron Falls is going to be part of a series of books set in the same universe, and I left a few things hanging - such as "what happened to Kevin Yamakawa?" and "What do the Russians have to do with events in the African continent?", to "what will Gene Bukowski discover about his heritage?" and "Who are these SWORD guys?". For now I need to do some research before I answer those questions. This means I have some more creative juices left for something else to work on. Besides, I need to practice my writing so any excuse will do.
Now, last week I talked about the idea of how to go promoting one's own work. This next piece of writing will be available free for download so that you can have a taste of how I write. Now, I can't promise you if the story will be set in the same universe as Iron Falls and its planned sequel, or how long it'll be for that matter. What I can tell you is that neither Bukowski, Yamakawa nor Heerdan will be in it, and that it will be set on elsewhere other than Earth.
Until next time my friends . . .
