Amparo Ortiz | Is This Book Trying To Kill Me? Writing The Sequel To BLAZEWRATH GAMES @amparoortiz2234 | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today I'm talking sequel! Specifically, the writing process for the second book in my BLAZEWRATH GAMES duology. What happens when you have to write a book under contract with a tight deadline for the first time ever? In my case, I don't comb my hair for months.

But anyway! Most authors mention how difficult it is to write Book 2 in a contract. You have less time to draft *and* you're promoting the first book in the series/your book deal. I'm here to admit that I loved writing Book 2, which puts me in the minority. I still had plenty of challenges along the way, and I'd like to share some of them with you!

Also, I apologize in advance for my appearance in this vlog. This is what I call Deadline Chic. You have been warned.

PRE-ORDER BLAZEWRATH GAMES (10.6.20 // Page Street Kids)
"Experience the World Cup with dragons in this debut fantasy, set in an alternate contemporary world, in which riders and their steeds compete in an international sports tournament.

Lana Torres has always preferred dragons to people. In a few weeks, sixteen countries will compete in the Blazewrath World Cup, a tournament where dragons and their riders fight for glory in a dangerous relay. Lana longs to represent her native Puerto Rico in their first ever World Cup appearance, and when Puerto Rico’s Runner―the only player without a dragon steed―is kicked off the team, she’s given the chance.

But when she discovers that a former Blazewrath superstar has teamed up with the Sire―a legendary dragon who’s cursed into human form―the safety of the Cup is jeopardized. The pair are burning down dragon sanctuaries around the world and refuse to stop unless the Cup gets cancelled. All Lana wanted was to represent her country. Now, to do that, she’ll have to navigate an international conspiracy that’s deadlier than her beloved sport."
