C.E. Murphy:
I know you have said that the Negotiator trilogy was really stressful to write, but even so- do you think that you will be returning to that series any time soon? And also (is fitting two questions into one the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ form of wishing for more wishes...?) were you inspired by the Gargoyles cartoons for that trilogy or was it more of an after-the-fact association on your part?

Ah, jeez.
There's a lot left to write in the world of the Old Races. Grace's story, for one, which is titled KISS OF ANGELS, and...honestly, if I thought I could get away with KoA being a novella I'd do a whole 'nother book of short stories anchored by it, because I've had a wonderful time writing Old Races short stories and they seem less...nerve-wracking...than tackling a whole book.
As for whether I'm actually going to write any more books, I honestly don't know. I'm in a position right now where I could probably make bank for quite a long time working in/around my existing worlds and self-publishing, and I'd really love to take advantage of that. OTOH, I also want to continue to publish traditionally, and I just don't have the time to write everything that I'd like to. So I just don't know. If I could go for a year without sleep and get caught up on everything I would totally write more, but right now, I just don't know.
*clears throat* OF COURSE I WASN'T INSPIRED BY THE GARGOYLES CARTOON WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I NEVER HEARD OF 'EM NOPE NOT ME I'M SURE I WOULDN'T BE RIFFING OFF DISNEY IDEAS OR ANYTHING HECK FIRE NO WAY NO SIRREE NOPE NOPE NOPE o.o :) :) :) :) :)
