This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 343 episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

So I'm totally beginning to see why you guys enjoy writing sequels so much. I've just started outlining the first

sequel I've ever written to my portal fantasy dreamlander and honestly I

cannot remember the last time I've had so much fun writing, and that's saying something.

I never intended to go back to Dreamlander, so it's a double delight to get to return to

flesh out characters and worlds I thought I would never be able to see again.

The working title is Dreambreaker and the working summary of the plot goes something like this.

As the veil between our world and the world of dreams begins to rupture, the former gifted

Chris Redston, now shorn of his abilities, must struggle back to his lost love the fierce and conflicted Queen Alara and help her overcome dangerous

international intrigue and discover the impossible truth about their still intertwined destinies before a mysterious heretic can commit the ultimate

abomination of permanently fusing the worlds.

I cannot wait to share it with you all.
