I’m asked on occasion if I’m working on anything, and if I have any books coming out soon. The answer to those two questions are ‘always’ and ‘no.’ I’m always working on something, but with no books currently under contract, there’s nothing coming in the near future – though hopefully that’ll change before too long.[…]
