"Somebody New" and Sequel "Force of Nature" (by Jenna Hilary Sinclair)
JennyC:
Just want to let all Somebody New fans know that Jenna is planning a sequel to the story! :)
The announcement can be found under the LJ community for Somebody New (Helen provided the link above). Here is a copy of the post.
Schedule for Sequel to Somebody New
Since a few people have asked me, I thought I'd lay out my hopes for writing the sequel to Somebody New. I hate to think that folks might be checking my LJ or the Somebody New Community on a regular basis looking for something new from me. It's better if you have a date in mind!
I am hoping to start writing the sequel to Somebody New,
which will be a novel called Force of Nature, the week of August 13, right after I come back from the Brokeback Backyard Barbecue. I hope to *post* the results from those first writing sessions sometime during the week of August 20, probably later in the week. The first posting will be an introductory, short piece immediately followed by chapter one.
I do hope to post a chapter at a time, or maybe two chapters at a time if the rhythm of the piece demands it, as was sometimes the case for Somebody New. Force of Nature looks to be another substantial novel, although different in pace and tone than SN. I would be surprised if it did not go longer than SN, too. I do have a definite ending for it in mind, along with extensive notes and outlines -- which will undoubtedly change as the story develops. And, I guess I can say that the novel will cover a few months and will start in the summer of 1984, so just a few months after the ending of SN.
There! That's all for now. I can't wait to get back into Jack and Ennis's world again. Thanks so much for your interest!
