“The plot is laid.” – Henry VI
Since The Other Shakespeare came out, a surprising number of people have asked me what my next novel is going to be about. I hadn’t really thought much about my next novel. I mean, I have a folder full of scraps of ideas I’ve written down over the years, but for all I know they’re terrible, like the detritus of a bad dream, best left behind and forgotten. And then in bed yesterday morning, while cuddling my son as he slowly woke up, I had an idea. I’m going to spend the next couple of months researching it and getting a feel for its plausibility, but I think the plot may be laid! Happy Holidays and see everyone in 2015!

“If ever you have looked on better days,
If ever been where bells have knolled to church,
If ever sat at any good man’s feast,
If ever from your eyelids wiped a tear
And know what ’tis to pity and be pitied,
Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.” – As You Like It
The world could really use more kindness, understanding, and empathy right now…
