Phasmatopia on hiatus
New research, new evidence, new suspects.
Interconnected cases are a plot staple of pulp detective stories: with the revelation of new evidence or a surprising suspect, two investigations turn out to be one big case.
I’ve been getting that feeling for a while now. The zombie book has felt like writing two books instead of one. There’s also been something missing—a jigsaw piece out of place—in all the writing I’ve been doing over the past couple years.
I think I’ve found the connection.
Need some time to process everything, do some research in a different direction, and re-work one of the chapters I’ve already drafted; when I come back, this work should have some more clarity.
The kids’ summer vacation is also looming, so I’m not promising too much in the next few months. Billing has been duly suspended. I’ll check back in soon.
Stay tuned.
