In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Brooklyn Quintana discusses her latest book, Blood in the Water. It is the second book in her Fynneas Fog series, and the follow up to her debut novel, Nine of Swords. Blood in the Water is a young adult fantasy novel that takes place at a nightmarish military academy on a tropical island. A catastrophic event has changed everything for Fynneas Fog and his friends, and they must pick up the pieces and try to move on, as the story becomes darker with much more at stake. Brooklyn aimed for a more horror-story vibe with this latest novel, while still carrying on the mystery in the background and punctuating the tension with moments of levity. Even though this series is a passion project for Brooklyn, and one whose story idea has been with her since she was a little girl, she was very nervous about writing book two. Would the characters sound and behave like themselves? Fortunately for fans of the series, the answer is yes. In this episode, I’ll chat with Brooklyn about her writing journey, why Blood in the Water took almost twice as long to write as the first book, and her ongoing efforts to turn these books into a graphic novel series.
