hi! idk if youll see this, but i just finished reading strange bed fellows and had to have a quiet freak out about it bc it blew me away that much. im still thinking about it hours later. what a great story!!! i was curious if u envisioned it as a stand-alone or if u thought about a sequel? the setting was so lush and that i can feel so many angles to come at it from. thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Maybe I'm biased but I think you should let yourself have a loud freak out about it.
Strange Bedfellows is what I like to call my "joker's trick" in that it was always intended as a prequel that would be a gentle introduction to a universe that has a larger (and harder to sell) story connected to it called "Ghost Dust".
Ghost Dust happens about 10-15 years after Bedfellows, and follows Oberon and Kon (and some other guys) who work as fixers for the GA. They discover a teen called Lallah when investigating a rogue planet, who has powers akin to "Magical Girl* (*gender neutral) Naruto". The gang bands together to investigate how Lallah came to be because they fall so far out of the realm of what can normally be defined as a "Ghost".
"That doesn't sound so hard to sell"
There's space dinosaurs and cyborg clones in it and it'd be at least a thousand pages long. My ideal career after I finish my current contracted book is just to make Witchy and Ghost Dust side by side as webcomics, but that's not particularly financially viable, unless I get 10x the amount of patreon supporters that I currently have. Likely ETA is 10 years from now, after I finish Witchy, but maybe a miracle will happen.
Here's a Teeth, Lallah's alter-ego:
