Right. Unfortunately, over the last year or so, the real world has intruded far too much… much as I enjoy the writing, I’ve got to put bread on the table.

But the feedback I’ve received over that period has been pretty overwhelmingly positive – and that includes input from professionals in the field – so I very definitely want to continue. I’d already been planning on making it a series of at least three, and one of the things I was told a couple of times at a writers’ seminar and workshop in York (England) was that completed sets are indeed more marketable than single books with vague plans for follow-ups. So here we go: a Christmas sabbatical to get the ideas for RED and GRN into shape.
