So here’s something I’ve only alluded to on this blog so
far: While wading into the querying phase with my first book (yes, I’ll have an
update in my next post), I’m starting in on a second story. I haven’t been as
fast out of the gate with this as I’d like, but I am indeed out of the gate.
I don’t want to say much about Book #2 now, other than to
say that it’s not a sequel to my first book. Also, while it’s not a fantasy
novel or an adventure story (I’m still very much in an upmarket mystery mode), it
does indeed feature a Five Man Band.
If that seems out of left field, it’s because my transitions
could use more work and also because the Five Man Band is a common trope in
adventure stories. It’s such a trope that it’s one of Overly SarcasticProduction’s installments in their Trope Talk series.
I’d just finished hammering out the broad strokes for the
main characters of Book #2 and while the story is in a contemporary setting and
their rolls aren’t so neat or obvious… yeah, Five Man Band.
