Is there life after the Viridian System series? What might I write next?
The SSERS project
Alex Radacanu turned up in my head in response to a call for the IWSG submissions on the theme of Dark Matter. In fact she didn’t have a surname then, and I borrowed a new GB tennis star’s name (with a vowel change) when I decided she could rescue Dolores.
The idea of the Second Sector Emergency Rescue Service came to me when watching an advert for an automobile rescue service, who were attending a breakdown for the crew of Red Dwarf.
It’s too early to say whether this is another series or a standalone, but I’m toying with ideas along the scifi-mystery continuum, and we’ll see what happens when I get writing.
The original response for the IWSG Anthology all was rejected, but I adapted the story into an important event within Zanzibar’s Rings (book 3 of the Viridian series).
It is set in the same world as the Viridian System, but forward in time. I’ll probably report future developments in the Viridian website.
I see something very interesting brewing here! 😀
