Over on the message board, Paul Campbell wonders if I’m washing my hands of short fiction. The short answer on that is, no way.
It’s true that at the moment I’m knee-deep in a novel that I didn’t expect to be writing, and having a hell of a good time with it, thanks. And until I turn in the new book, I won’t have a lot of time for short fiction. But I recently collaborated on a novella with my Paw, so that’s coming down the pike.
