Goodreads asked Barry H. Wiley:

What are you currently working on?

Barry H. Wiley I am currently working on The Shadow Play, the third novel in my Adventures in Second Sight series. Set in 1897 in Sand Francisco, Honolulu, and Tahiti together with some of the other Society Islands. To fully plot out the book, I need to become more familiar with familiar places and people, like Paul Gauguin, who becomes a valued ally to my eighteen year old heroine, Kyame Piddiington, who though possessing remarkable skills, as developed in the first two novels, needs yet new talents and insights. I have been going deeper into Gauguin's life than I ever have in the past. I have been fortunate enough to experience a wide range of his works, but I need to know him. Also the uniqueness of the Polynesian people, which I experienced while exploring Mo'orea and the marae, the ancient temples there. So I am sketching out the story, while working on filling in the details of 1897.
In addition I am writing a long mystery short story for Kindle Singles submission, called The Man Who Knows, set during Prohibition in 1920. It is a fun project and quite different from Tahiti.
And finally, I am in the final rewrite mode for the thriller Beyond The Tempest, set primarily in Bermuda in 2014. The book is written, and now I'm working on the details. The transition from 1897 or 1920 to 2014 can be difficult -- but still fun. Writing has to be fun, or why bother.
