Past 10K!
Blasted through the 10K barrier on Cold Witness yesterday, which is pretty cool seeing as I only started it about four days ago. The plot's starting to deepen, and some new and unexpected influences are creeping in. For example, when Lunar Squadron investigate the weird occurances over Lantern Marshes, a formation of A-10s from RAF Bentwaters come screaming over at really low altitude, taking photos of the area. Cold Witness is restricted airspace, so Foyle's hopping mad about this. I suspect that the Bentwaters link will come through much more prominently later on ... how much does Commander Wilson really know about Special Protocol 96 and, more importantly, Cold Witness itself? How am I going to handle all these intertwining subplots? *gulps* And am I really reaching the truth of the matter here?
I'm also thinking about a possible sequel for Cold Witness, maybe set in the present day; Christina would be nearly 40, so it would be a good time for her to gather together all the original witnesses and blow the top off the whole case. It would be cool if I introduced a new weapons programme on Orfordness ... maybe a classic Star Wars approach? Plasmoid beam weaponry, or something like that? The possibilities are endless.
Here, I've got a couple of possible titles. How about Project Radiant Shield? Or Project Hornet Pulse? Maybe I could even have Radiant Pulse or Hornet Shield. They all sound pretty cool.
I'm thinking too far ahead here. After I've finished revising Darkness in the Forest and finished writing Cold Witness, I'll be doing part II of The Twilight Trilogy. Let's take things one year at a time, shall we?
