I have started on a sequel to Beer Run. This may seem odd as I’ve only sold a few copies of the first book, but I need to keep writing, as it is a habit. Furthermore, I have ideas for Beer Run, and I was able to publish the first book, so I may as well work on a second.

Right now, the working title is “The Great Reckoning” and it starts right where the last one ended, with Bill and Cassandra landing on earth. Just as Bill gets back to the brewery, he finds it under attack by the Lunatics, the local Xenophobes, who believe, based on an online video titled “The Great Awakening”, that Bill is the head of an intergalactic conspiracy to destroy their livelihood, lure them to his bar, and then eat them.

After one of the leaders, Jethro Duff from the first book, tries to burn down Bill’s bar (which is made of metal siding, making arson impossible), Bill decides to sue the man behind the online video, Cody Duncan. Bill’s attorney, an oversized beetle hires an investigator to look into Duncan’s operation. This investigator just happens to be Jimmy, Bill’s intern, who works as a private investigator as one of his several side gigs. As Jimmy gets infiltrate’s Duncan’s organization, Bill starts to worry if Duncan will bring out some of Jimmy’s bad habits. Not sure how it will end, but that’s why it’s a work in progress. Tell me what you think of the idea.
