The Seeds are Already Sowed
Where the next book is coming from.

I have known for some time now that my second novel would follow on from “To Die For” either starting a series, or as a trilogy (or indeed both.)
There’s not much I can say about book 2 at the moment because it is just in the ideas phase — and when it comes to copyright, that is the most sensitive stage. After all, you can’t hold Intellectual Property over an idea. But I’ll give you some clues.
Book 2 will be about a whole different area of crime. Less about the killing (though I haven’t rule that out, or other forms of death), but more about police corruption. In all likelihood, one of the main themes is going to be child trafficking. Shocked? Well no, I didn’t think so. What with having written “To Die For” and my play “No Smoke” — which is all about false allegations of sexual abuse — I make no attempt to hide the fact that I’m not afraid of attacking the darker, more taboo of subjects.
But if TDF makes your skin crawl, Book 2 will be aiming at making your blood boil!
One thing I am happy to reveal is one of the soundtrack ideas for the second book. I use music is most of my writing, whether it is a single song, or just a mood setting that I never share with the reader. This time, however, I even have a scene written in my head that would play out on screen exactly as I imagine it. And it is covered with this song — whose lyrics might also feature as ideas in the book over all.
So, I can give away no ideas yet, but this song can point you in the right direction, just a teeny bit!
