The Story Anew

With the original book in the series 'A Ship Called Abigail' already published and available to buy and read, the second book, the sequel is soon to be added for purchase and reading.

I should not call this a true series for it is really a sequel rather than a multi-volume series.  The second book though it is set in time following the story in the first book, it is actually a different story.  This is  not a continuation of the story of the main characters in the first book.  It is the story of another character who figures importantly in the first book.  It is his story.  Well, their story, actually, for like Harris and Anna who following loss and widowhood, this man finds new love after loss.

The sequel story can stand alone.  It is not a continuation of a story before it.  It has an association with a story before it, and there will be references to people and events within the story before, but a reader can, if desired, enjoy the sequel story even if they have not read the one before.  Of course it is my hope that any who read this new book will also read the first one.  So much more will be gotten from the story.

Finding new love after loss is never easy.  It presents vastly different challenges than those who are young and are finding love for the first time.  Or rather I should say, committed love.  Marriage love.  Josias Lancaster finds the truth in that statement, for he is a man in his sixties when he finally finds that new love after loss.

This is also the story of the first voyage of the air ship Abigail.  Whether it will be the last voyage, only future sequels will tell.

And on the matter of sequels, out of the first book and out of this new book, two more stories will bring about at least two more sequels.  I foresee a total of four stories for four books.  But, I would never dare to predict that the four will be the end of it.
