For all those who have been following the story of Ren Nagata in Interview with a Lolita. It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all that I will not be continuing this story for a while. I have gone through 5 rewrites of the next chapter and none of them have the right feel. Sadly I must take a step back from the story for several reasons. The first of which is the sheer magnitude and complexity of the story. The twin story lines have become to great to keep separate. I know understand the challenge that Ann Rice faced with her book Interview with a Vampire. It was presumptuous of me to try and immolate her work. The second reason is a personal one. I refuse to force any story. I did that once and it cost me my health. As I wish to be around long enough to spoil my grandchildren and drive my daughters crazy, I will not endanger my health again. Besides, who’ll take care of my two cats, three dogs, and six horses if I’m gone? I will return to Interview with a Lolita once it no longer feels like work but is a joy to write. For now look for the next chapter in Racing Angles a new book in the Marshal series ‘A Thief’s Problem’.
