Where's the second book to first Apprentice?

Just want to say I love your bio it's rare to find someone with both a high education and common sense education 

What's going on with the sequel?

HOW TO BACK UP YOUR WATTPAD STORIES!
          Guys, this is important. You should control your work, have several dozen backups of your work, and never experience a complete "OMG! X DELETED MY ACCOUNT AND I LOST ALL MY STORIES!" meltdown. I've read those. They're not pretty.
          This is how to do it. If I remember, I'll start a new work for this here on Wattpad over the weekend. That way we have somewhere else to continue the discussion. You can also use the comments.
          I started to just post this on Wattpad, but I needed a little more formatting than Wattpad allows.

I KNOW how to backup Wattpad stories!!! Yes, I'm a little excited about this discovery. You can even transition them to another editor like Google Docs, Word, Scrivener, etc. with the smart (curly) quotes that Wattpad strips out.
          
          A clean output--required for building epubs--and no copying/pasting every chapter. Plus, it backs up the comments so you can review/edit offline.
          
          But there's a tiny problem. I'm an uber geek. Although I know this works for Windows, Linux, and Macs, I'm not the best usability judge. I desperately need testers and feedback.
          
          I will credit testers (a link to your website, Wattpad account, and/or other social media).

Do y'all remember me fussing about Wattpad's bizarre genre system? While researching this, I stumbled across several business practices that put all of our works at risk. I delved into the first major liability in Risky Business: What Wattpad's Business Model Means for Writers. (To read, go to my profile and click the link to my website. It's on the home page.) I'll write more about this and discuss some ways that 
          we can protect ourselves over the coming weeks. This will be my only Wattpad post regarding this.
          
          I'm still a bit floored by what I discovered. Some of these risks are completely unnecessary and only partially mitigated, if at all. Despite using and enjoying their platform, if Wattpad offered an IPO today, I wouldn't invest because I have serious concerns about their long-term viability.
          
          As a writer, I included Wattpad in my long-term strategy (right under Amazon). I'm now rethinking everything.

I loved first apprentice (and stayed up way to late reading it) I also like your bio, very real life, I can relate to a lot of it especially the coffee and the dog except mine is sixty pounds and every time I sit forward he tries to get behind me and look over my shoulder

Getting closer to a sequel release here and I need a little input on the title. Check out my twitter poll or let me know below.
