Of course, you do need more plot for a novel than for a short story, so I added a couple of extra twists while writing the draft of this volume. To say what they were would be a spoiler, so I’ll leave it to your imagination.
All that being the case, I expect the next volume will consist of the second formerly short story. Let’s just say it’s a tale of someone who’s never had a book cover to themselves before...
But what about that third short story? It’s a very difficult idea to expand, so I don’t foresee it becoming a third complete novel. I guess I’ll need to think up a couple more short story ideas.
In any event, thanks to the support of my readers, it looks like Outbreak Company will get to continue a while longer. I’ve got a shock twist, a complete reversal, up my sleeve (in fact, this book lays some of the groundwork for it), so I hope you’ll stick with me for a few more volumes.
Catch you next time!
