Sequel on the way


This is not quite the usual form for a sequel. It is a sequel to both the Lacy Pita book and the WECU book, but their stories were independent. The story so far is that in the Lacy Pita book, we see Lacy and Emme become professional level programmers and Lacy is befriended by an AI named Sherlock. In the WECU story, Kieran and Malaya organize a group of neighborhood kids into a group modeled after the Scooby Doo kids who solved crimes. The WECU kids find a boy who was missing, solving a real crime.
For a sequel to both, I use one 'supporting character', Arthur, who appears in both, then introduces members of both groups. Malaya goes to the same Girls Who Code camp that Lacy went to last year, kicking off her new identity. They become the computer girls of the story. Arthur introduces Kieran, Malaya, and Lilith from the WECU story to Emme, Lacy's first friend from the coding camp. Given their collection of skills, they decide to make a documentary about how they found the missing boy, Bobby. Part of the story is that they start a movement of kids helping kids and making videos and graphic novels about the stories of the kids. It's a positive idea that 'kids watching out for kids' becomes a cultural norm, improving society.
A 'sort of sequel' is also in the works. I've taken the characters from the fantasy short story in WECU and started a longer story about them and that universe.
