Interview: Jack Chambers-Ward

Their guide to good sequels explains why there's so many bad ones - build on it and not retread?! That's hard!
I've mentioned in passing in my articles how I was spoiled as a kid by the fact that Colin Dann of Animals of Farthing Wood fame is an author I read early on, and he understands how to write a sequel better than basically anyone. It unreasonably raised my expectations of what others would be capable of when it comes to threading the needle between the Scylla of "just boringly repeat the same thing again and be cautious about not spoiling your happy ending" vs the Charybdis of "undo your happy ending and kill fan favourite character to show how serious you are".
