Michael, your responses on this Q&A have been almost as interesting as your books. But of course you put so much into your books.

Afterwards, after a book is completed, do you move right on to another? Do you start planning the next book while finishing the first. Do you just let matters go fallow for a while?

I don't make money unless I write so I don't have the time to go fallow. I'm always planning the next book. Part of the writing life, for better or worse.
