Creativity Must Run in the Family

In a previous post I mentioned my inspiration for a new story based on the simple premise "What if the devil owned a pawn shop?"

Much like that silver sphere in a pinball machine, that idea has been bouncing around my head. I have an odd habit of not being able to really sink my teeth into something until I have a working title for it (trust me – its a very annoying habit to have). Thankfully, my cousin Dan found the idea intriguing enough to give it some thought and came up with a title I am very fond of – The Devil's Pawn: A Soul Proprietorship.

So was does this mean? Well, in the short-term very little. I am already hard at work on the revisions to Asylum Lake and making the three book Parting The Veil series a two book extravaganza with Grave Undertakings. Plus, my brain and research partner Ken Chinavare are already busy at work on FLIGHT. Add in the hundred or so pages I already have on a little story called REDIAL and this pawn shop story is definitely on the back burner.

You never know, however. Something tells me The Devil's Pawn will practically write itself!

Thanks, Danny – and look for a character named after you featured prominently!
