Are you currently working on a new novel, and if so can you give a hint about it? Also, whatever happened to Doc being made to the screen (large or small)? I had heard a rumor...

I'm working on two books right now, which is unusual for me. Actively writing Unremembered Lives about the early days of the American labor movement, but also doing research for the next novel, which is about six kings of the Plantagenet dynasty 1100-1250.
Re: Doc.

Don't get excited: many are optioned, but few are filmed. Nothing is real in Hollywood until the cinematographer is on the set eating a breakfast burrito.

Now the question? :-) Will there be a third book in the series? I would love to
