Goodreads asked Richard McClellan:

What are you currently working on?

Richard McClellan This may be a trick question for me. I'm an engineer by education and experience, and have been a project manager on top of that, so I'm well-trained in the multi-tasking methodology. That doesn't always serve an author well, but it's hard to undo. The formal answer is I'm working on my second book, Rule Number One, a Second Chance Romance about childhood friends who are re-united after fifteen years, when she's the flight nurse who rescues him after his involvement in a traffic accident. Since nurses aren't suppose to fraternize socially with patients (hence Rule Number One), the story is all about their resistance to their obvious mutual attraction, what it will take to overcome obstacles, real or imagined, and whether they should even try. I have a number of relatives and friends who are nurses or have worked in a hospital, which helps a lot with details and backstory. and as always, there are elements of my own experience sprinkled throughout, hopefully not too obviously.

The real answer is that I'm also pursuing other ideas all the time. I've formulated a first series of Second Chance Romances where the four male leads are ex-college room-mates, and how their individual struggles to find, or re-capture love, intertwine with each other as well as encountering the girls that got away. I'm always looking ahead to those other books and developing them in my mind.
