 ORIGINAL POST: 
 Yeehaw, I'm writing another western! Let me get a few frequently asked questions out of the way: 
 Is this a sequel to Vengeance Road? 
 Nope, it's a companion novel--same world, but a completely separate story, with a new plot and new characters. RR is again set in Arizona (roughly ten years after the events of VR), but you can read RR without reading VR, and it will absolutely make sense. 
 But will there be a Kate cameo? 
 Maybe. 
 Will there be a Jesse cameo? 
 Maybe. 
 Will characters I love die? 
 Maybe. 
 Are you just saying 'maybe' to everything at this point? 
 Yes. But only because I don't want to spoil things for you. 
 So when's it coming out? 
 Right now, we're thinking fall of 2017, which means I really need to get back to finishing the first draft! 
 November 7, 2017! 
 Will the cover match VR? 
 No clue! It's still very early in the game, and I haven't had any conversations with my editor yet regarding cover direction. But after my experience with VR, I know I'm in good hands and that it will be a collaborative process. You'll know more when I know more. 
 YES! Teagan White, the insanely talented illustrator who did VR's cover, is on board to do the art for RR as well. I have seen preliminary sketches and they. are. beautiful. 
 The pitch mentions a boy and a girl. Does this mean two main characters? 
 YES! Reece Murphy is your "train-robber in possession of a mysterious coin" and Charlotte Vaughn is your "aspiring journalist." They're both teens navigating unexpected obstacles in 1887 Arizona, one of which is each other. I am not kind to these kids, but then again, I was never very kind to anyone in VR, either. 
 Ooh, tell me more. What else can I expect? 
 Train heists, mystery, betrayal, desert winter, nooses, vicious outlaws, unexpected allies, and of course, lots of railroad tracks. This is vague, I know, but it's all I feel comfortable saying right now. In the meantime, I need to get back to drafting, but I promise to share more news if/when I have it. Feel free to stalk the RR pinterest board until then! 
 Wait, don't go! You haven't answer my question. 
 Leave a comment, and I'll do my best to answer it.
