Goodreads asked Rod Collins:

What are you currently working on?

Rod Collins I'm about thirty thousand words into another Bud Blair novel I've titled Not Before Midnight. I can hardly wait to finish this story because the denouement is, in my humble opinion, a zinger.

I'm also dabbling with a character called Beer Drinker, a story about a young man who finally named himself at about age nine because he was tired of being call boy. This one is loosely based on a true story, and...yes...the real life character did choose his own name at age nine. His parents had just been plain whipped by the Great Depression and had barely enough energy to get through the day. Consequently, they just hadn't gotten around to giving him a first name.
