Hello Shadow Folk,

Since Shadows came out in December last year, I’ve been working on the sequel and the second book in the Shadow World series. I’m still having issues figuring out the title for it, but I think once the first draft is done I’ll be able to have a better perspective on what it should be called. At the moment the working title is Shadows in the Mist, but since that’s already in use for another book, I’ll have to come up with something a little more original.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been struggling with the plot. Something was missing and I just couldn’t put my finger on it. It was too short and it just wasn’t flowing nicely. Needless to say it was really starting to piss me off and then my fabulous editor, Jayne, asked me if I’d brought in The Council yet, and I answered with a rather surprised “No…”

This obviously got me thinking and I’m now in the process of adding a scene to each chapter dedicated to the goings on in the Shadow World. Originally I wasn’t planning on properly introducing the Shadow World just yet. I was thinking of doing it in another book, but I think it’s time the rest of the world met the Demon Council and the rest of the Shadow World properly (and not just here on my blog), don’t you?
