This week I am bringing to you an exclusive preview of the next Volume of The Ratchwood Prophecies. Said volume is entitled Genesis and it is the prequel story of how Ratchwood and Wicklow arrive at the place (state of mind) where their story began.
Unlike its predecessors, Genesis focusses less on existential exploration of faith-based issues (aka mystical shit), placing greater emphasis on the narrative journeys of the protagonists. Having said this, the linear structure of the story is still all over the place and the ‘mystical shit’ will be returning in in the next volume. The back stories of the central characters and their relationship is explored as well as greater explanations of character development we have already seen.
Work on Genesis is now complete. All component materials have been submitted to the publisher and we are now playing the waiting game.
