Gonna start working of sequels for The Price of Survival -- one book for each character.
Just not sure what order to put the books in.
These stories are directly inspired by the experiences of Jews in Renaissance/Early Modern Europe, and are in effect an examination of the ways Jews survived and the different traumas those survival's caused.
Navin, at the end of Price of Survival, has settled into the role of Court Jew, walking the tightrope of survival in the highest circles based on the advantages he brings, but his survival hanging by the thread of his patron's support and forced to work alongside the enemies of his people.
Cyneburg is tasked with establishing a sort of rural ghetto, where she will spend the rest of her life.
Elisabeti... she'll be following the path of the converso, giving up her people and culture in order to assimilate into the dominant culture while trying to secretly retain as much of her true self as possible.
In the Price of Survival, I started with Navin, then introduced Cyneberg, then Elisabeti. I'm not sure if I want to write the sequels in the same order, or if I want to reverse it and tell Elisabeti's story first...
