What’s in the pipeline for upcoming projects?
I’m working on book set in medieval England right now that has a ton of Shakespearian themes in it. I don’t know what I’ll do immediately following that book, but I’d like to write the third in my vampire series in the next couple of years. Both Marvel and DC have approached me about creating a graphic novel, so I may do that. I’d like to do another whale book, too, if I can come up with a story that will carry the research. Eight of the ten books have been bought for film, so something may happen on that front, although I’m not involved in any of them.
