This is the first time I've started planning a new book after having completed one. Oddly, this actually feels more daunting than moving on to any number of new projects has in the past. I think this may be due to the fact that I've had beta readers for my last book, and there's a sense of needing to live up to expectations.
I'm unsure about the ettiquette of sharing details of a WIP publicly on a blog. Is it frowned upon or just unwise in case someone browsing the blog should decide to steal an idea? Am I just being paranoid?
Either way, I have my protagonist named and his background decided. I could really use a working title. And some more ideas for how to write an urban fantasy set in London.

The joys of a new book
Paul Anthony Shortt believes in magic and monsters. In ghosts and fairies. The creatures that lurk under the bed and inside the closet. The things that live in the dark, and the heroes who stand against them. Above all, he believes that stories have the power to change the world, and the most important stories are the ones which show that monsters can be beaten.
