I’m 75,000 words into Jake and the Dynamo: Dead to Rites, the sequel to The Wattage of Justice. It looks as if the second book is going to be considerably longer than the first one, as there’s still a lot of story to deal with.
Both books are similar in that, at least from the author’s perspective, it’s all about trying to get the characters to a certain place. The writing of the first novel was driven entirely by my desire to get Jake and Dana to a restaurant. The second is driven by my desire to get them to a rock concert.
