Malcolm Little

Malcolm Little asked Jeff Somers:

Personality of any characters you've developed modeled after that cat I see in your videos?

Jeff Somers First of all, yes. Second of all, which cat? There are so many. And more every day, I swear, like the "Pink Elephants" sequence from "Dumbo."

It's actually more likely the other way around; I probably project the character I'm currently writing onto the cats, especially as I get deeper into my cups, until I hallucinate the cats acting out the next scene of the book, which is, in a nutshell, my writing process:

1. Drink
2. Hallucinate cats acting out scenes
3. Write it down in incomprehensible scrawl
4. ?????
5. Profit!

So is the Avery Cates series done for good? It was my favorite series by you. I'm hoping you could breathe new life into it somehow.

Jimmy Smith asked Jeff Somers:

Would you consider returning to the Avery Cates world? Maybe a series looking at the Unification Wars and Canny Orell??

A Goodreads user

A Goodreads user asked Jeff Somers:

Hi Jeff! I'm very curious about the reprinting of Trickster. I see it's now a part of a new book called We Are Not Good People. Is that a story you can share? I am also unable to locate the ebooks Fabricator or Mageshkumar that are listed on Goodreads. Will they be part of We Are Not Good People? If not, are they still available anywhere? Thanks!
