This novella was edited before, so all I did was run back through it, checking to make sure there weren't any places I missed. There was a second where I added to the narrative, but it wasn't a whole lot. Just something to tie things together a little more...and to make me feel better...but really, I wanted to hint at the next book. The sequel, so to speak.
Ah yes.
Well, when I first wrote the story, I wasn't so sure I was gonna write any more for it, but when I ended it with that specific inner dialogue, I couldn't help myself. Over the years, I kept getting ideas but wasn't ready to put them down on paper. Now, I'm getting to that point. Been sketching down soooo many elements to this next nook. Where this first story was sort of small scale, only a few settings and interactions over cell phone, the impact on the country was in the background.
The next book isn't going to stretch out over the entire country, but there are going to be more characters. More settings. A romp around a city.
"And, my favorite part, I'm going to include some social commentary that hopefully gives the reader an idea of the Centipede's reach!"
But until then, enjoy some cyber warfare, anxious cell phone conversations, and anonymous mysteries! All while trying to figure out what the Centipede really is!
