I’m so excited to reveal the cover for The Barren Prison, book #2 in The Runners of Abra series! Book one, The Last Runner was a ride I will never forget writing. From the first page, I knew I had stumbled upon a world and a story that begged to be told. And as Eric’s journey spiraled out of control throughout the first installment, I cannot wait for you to read what happens to him and his friends in the second book!
Writing The Last Runner as a serial novel was a fascinating experience. I wrote chapters weekly and as they were posted, I realized I couldn’t go back and change anything that had been published already. The story morphed along with reader reaction, and it was definitely an adventure to figure out how to get Eric past the various monsters, traps, and adversaries that came his way.
And then, (no spoilers!) where I left off with book one wasn’t where I had originally intended to take the story at all. It threw my plans for the rest of the series for a spin, and I had to go back and look at all my notes and outlines and tweak them to fit where everything left off. And I must say, I am so excited about where Eric is heading and what is going to happen.
I’ve written the first few chapters of The Barren Prison, and it’s going to be crazy. Definitely buckle yourself to the saddle for what’s about to happen in the world of Abra. Chapters will be posting weekly soon!
