Sequels

In my WIP, I'm trying not to repeat the events that made Killer of Killers great. The series of events in Killer Eyes have led me to a place in which I had already been with the first book. But I have to avoid a rehash. No one would like reading the same thing over again in a different book, not readers, not editors, and certainly not me. So I am making sure that in this similar situation my MC finds himself, what actually happens is NOT what happened the first time around.

I'm right in the middle of it now. So it's time to make something different happen, while at the same time make it believable and within the scope of the character's personality. Yes, a sequel may contain the same character(s), and be in the same universe, but it absolutely must be a different story or at least involve separate events.
