"Do you think you're going to write another book," my mom asked.
"Absolutely not," I said. "The first one has consumed my life for five and a half years."
And yet, just days later I was already thinking about segments that don't quite fit in my first book. I even considered writing them down.
I played with potential first chapters, the hook that is meant to corral you readers with your hundreds of thousands of book options, and why read mine?
Would the second begin right where the first leaves off, much like My Friend Leonard following James Frey's megahit, A Million Little Pieces? Or would it plug some holes of the first book—the stories behind the stories of the cancerslayer, from Superman himself?
