What Next?

Finished off the second Straw-Man volume so now I’m in between projects. This is both a fun period and a maddening one because I’m temporarily free of feeling like I have to keep up with a deadline but also I’m overwhelmed by the possibilities.

Ever since the character popped into my imagination, the stories have just poured out of me. While I’ve written some great one-off books in recentContinue reading “Current Project”
