Volume Two :)

Work on Volume Two of Ishiki started the other day. I was going crazy without writing, so I started even though I still have to go through my proof and make Volume One available for sale. Now I'm into Joey's second year, starting with chapter 14, The Sleeping Giant.
Who is the sleeping giant? He is the most important part of volume two, just like the spectre was in volume one. But who exactly is he? Well, that's a secret! I can't give everything away, can I?
I was really close to naming the chapter Like a Sleeping Giant, from some Eminem lyrics, but I decided against it. It was because the transition from volumes one and two had chapters that went like this:
end of volume one: Chapter 12 - The Monster
transition: Chapter 13 - The Spectre
start of volume two: Chapter 14 - The Sleeping Giant
These are the three major players in the book that take Joey from poor kid from the Yukina Kido Houses to what he becomes at the end of the book. The Monster refers to Mark Masterson, The Spectre is self-explanatory, and The Sleeping Giant.....
Anyway, here's a preview of Volume Two, just some chapter titles that I've already written or am thinking about:

The Sleeping Giant
Same Song and Dance
What Really Happened
Who Killed Joseph Roberts
The Scars of Dreams

It's strange to have titles already picked out, since volume one everything was titled way after I finished the chapter. I hope volume two comes out good, because it's gonna be different than volume one. Everything's gonna get way darker, less structured, more risky for a YA novel. At least, that's what I have planned. You never know until it's in print! :)
