I was asked yesterday, if there is a sequel to #FEAR planned. The feeling was that the story takes you to the point of something huge and just leaves you there in a sort of anticipant state of limbo.
Certainly it's unashamedly open-ended, and without wanting to give anything away, I knew that the second half of the story I needed to tell was too big to include in a short read, it couldn't be just tagged on the end in a couple of chapters. In some ways, the bit we've yet to come to, is the whole point of the novel; the original reason it was written. But I appreciate I may be talking in riddles at the moment.
There are questions which cannot be answered alone by part one of the story. As the novel's creator, I am keen as readers to discover what happens to Rhys! Do Kofi and Mel both go on to great things? And what of our teenage lovers, Byron and Nyah - are they going to live happily ever after? Does Ruth go back to the sex chat work? Do Professor Clyde and his team find a cure for the virus? Does Mo Granger ever get it on with Keith Lock?!! And what happens to society after the general election? Will it ultimately be the same as ever?
