Hello 3.5 readers.
For the 3.5 of you reading this…advise me.
Do you want to see Slade and Gunther in a sequel?
I’m currently leaning towards no. Slade’s Eastwood-esque stoic persona is a joke that only gets so much mileage, I feel.
Although he does talk a lot more around Miss Bonnie…and she did just kill a damn werewolf so I suppose if they’re fighting zombies together it could work.
My mind has come up with two sequels, neither one including Slade. Both books include actual historical cowboys/girls though obviously, very fictional versions of them.
The second book I have in mind is set in the world and has Calamity Jane fighting zombies and more Legion Corporation shenanigans.
The third book I’m considering sees Wyatt Earp and his friend Doc Holliday fighting zombies and yes, more Legion Corporation shenanigans.
Believe it or not, I have three more book ideas beyond that but I’d have to see a lot of people liking these or else I’ll probably just try another story idea.
So I guess my first question is do you want to see all/any of these characters in the first book return?
My gut is telling me that each future book would include a fictional version of a historic cowboy. Although if I make it to four books, I do have a fictional cowboy in mind.
Book 5 would involve Mexico. Book 6, God help me, would involve an elderly Slade becoming Gunther to a young cowboy, bringing the whole thing full circle.

I’m bad at series advise. I don’t read them. Currently I’m editing the first in what might be a series for the first time. shrug. Total lack of experience on both sides of the fence but my guts says….you need to have cameos of slade in the other books before you come back to him full circle. Otherwise it’s just a book end.
