Lately, this has meant jumping from epic fantasy to teen adventure, and then back to epic. As many of you know, I keep myself fresh and excited as an author by making certain that when I end one project, I have something very different queued up to try next. Well, the story of Stephen Leeds was not only very popular with readers, it was quite fun for me to write. The greater goal (as it always is) was to get this idea out of my head and onto the page so it would stop pestering me. whatever it is I do work in a more contemporary story.
