Now Writing: Reality Gradient Book 4

Ten years ago or more, my wife (also my editor) pitched a name at me from her position on the couch. We'd been reading through each other's writing, her florid prose and my poetry and short stories, in our apartment near D.C. I remember her story was about the slow death of a priest - and the way she described a coughing fit was visceral - blew me away!

But she also did something else that evening - she gave me a great serial killer name. I tried to write a novel based on him in the first person, but it was too dark for me at the time. Now, writing in the Reality Gradient universe, I finally have a place to put him. He even gets to feature as the antagonist. After all this time, I'm glad he finally gets some time in the sun, so to speak. I'm two chapters in and loving the story so far. This is going to be dark though - so be prepared when book 4 comes out in March/April next year.

Serial killers in the future! I love it!
