I have never written a proper sequel before, although as I have mentioned, my characters stories do continue in my head, and occasionally I have actually written them down. I’ve never written down these continuing episodes with any idea that they should be a sequel, and with no idea that they should be published or shared with anyone else. I have not even changed the details and used these incidents from these extensions in any of my other stories.
However… However, with Radwinter for the first time I do feel that there is more to follow on in the lives of Thomas and his brothers; I do feel that there are more mysteries which could be revealed, because Radwinter is about genealogy. Thomas Radwinter uncovers his family’s histories, and answers the question of where the Radwinters come from. He traces them to the village of that name in 1841… but where do they come from before then? He finds the answer… but this is only part of his family. The maternal side of the family are named Magick, and his brother John has it as a middle name. At one point John asks Thomas to find out more about the Magick line; however, the end of the novel comes before Thomas is able to do that… but in a sequel he could!
So,,, my next published book will be ‘The Double Act’, coming out in May, but after that look out for ‘Magick’, because that will be the next story of the Radwinter family, and my first ever sequel!
