I spent today doing something useful with my time: book outlines! I decided that it’d be a good idea to write out one for PATCHWORK GOD (sequel to a story in ANAGNORISIS) and TINSEL RAIN (the Shamus Tom Vargas sequel to FROZEN DREAMS). How… industrious of me.

PS: I won’t tell you the details, save one: the last line of the TINSEL RAIN outline is There! Now people can have a bunch of goram sequels. Happy? …As you might deduce from that, I had not previously intended to turn FROZEN DREAMS itself into a series. But I can take a hint.
Doing the hard behind-the-scenes work, eh? Good for you!

It is important to listen, both to fans and to the characters… but it is more important, as an author, to keep at least a semblance of control over the circuses….

Not everyone who bangs on the door in your head and demands to be heard is able to carry the weight of the narrative …

Hang tough, Mr. Lane.
