I’ve mentioned before that I currently have two WIPs or Works in Progress. One is the third installment of the Cemetery Tours series. This work includes familiar characters, ones that I know and love and are still evolving and growing, mystery, twists and turns (some of which have surprised even me), and of course, ghosts. I love writing ghost stories. Even when we were little, my sister would ask me to make up scary stories for her. We were twisted little kids.
I am loving that I get to continue the story of Michael, Kate, Luke, and everyone’s favorite, Brink, and I really love the new ghosts and the new adventures.
However, as much as I love Cemetery Tours, I have to say the new story/series I’m working on is so much fun. A whole new setting (one that is really, really awesome and I kind of wish I lived there), brand new characters, and no dead people. Again, I love my ghost stories, but I’m also loving how this new story is so much more light-hearted and not nearly as dark. Not that Cemetery Tours is all that dark. Still, there is the whole matter of death and loss and whatnot. You won’t find much of that in this new series.
The new book is also more YA than Cemetery Tours and in 1st person instead of 3rd person. In some ways, that presents new challenges, but in other ways, it’s a lot easier. It’s more like dialogue, which has always been my favorite part of writing any story.
At this point, I’m farther along in this new book than I am in CT3. I’m not going to lie, it’s been difficult writing two books at once, and it’s crossed my mind more than once that maybe I should focus wholeheartedly, 100% on just one of them. But I’m enjoying writing both, and I’m making progress, so I think I’m just going to keep after it and see where it leads me. I’ve been operating under the assumption that I’ll publish CT3 before this new one… but you never know!
On that note, keep writing and keep reading, everyone!
