Horror Author Roundtable
12.
AOTW: Tell us about your current project(s).
Michael Norman: I am working on my next book for Forge, to be titled Haunted Homesteads and published in 2004.
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro: I'm waiting to hear from Warner about the proposals for Saint-Germain #17 and #18. In the meantime, I'm working on another project for Bill Fawcett and researching two nonfiction books. Also, I have a couple of short stories promised to anthology editors that should be turned in by the end of the year.
Suzy McKee Charnas: I've been completely wrapped up in publicity for My Father's Ghost, since this is my first mainstream nonfiction book, a "literary" memoir about the last years of my old dad, which he spent living next door to me here in New Mexico after having left our family when I was eight, and after a lifetime as a struggling painter and kitchen man in Greenwich Village. Mainstream folks don't know my name from a hole in the ground, which is one of the downsides of being in one or more genre ghettos, so I've been working really hard to contact people who have an interest in a story about dealing with an elderly parent's decline, about mending family relationships as best you can, and about the amazing surprises life can have in store even at its very end.
Once all that lets up, I'm thinking about something concerning shamanism, which I've been reading about and studying. Or maybe it's time to bring Edward Weyland back . . . 20 years after . . .
Gregory Maguire: I am writing a book, currently untitled, that wreathes together the story of Snow White with the family fortunes of the infamous Borgia family in early sixteenth century Italy. Excuse me while I get back to work on it!
Fred Saberhagen: My latest Dracula, A Coldness in the Blood, is coming out I believe this month, 10/02, from Tor. Beserker Star is finished and in the publishing pipeline, and I'm about halfway done with Beserker Prime, which will tell of humanity's first encounter with the bad machines. I've also agreed to do an Irish vampire short story for Marty Greenberg's and Andrew Greeley's St. Patrick's Day anthology. I hope all the readers will enjoy.
F. Paul Wilson: The latest Repairman Jack novel, The Haunted Air, just hit the bookshelves, and a science fiction novel, Sims, will be out in March '03. After that will be another Jack novel, followed by Midnight Mass.
Geoffrey Huntington: Book Two of the Nightwing series is out in the spring, and I'm finishing up Book Three now.
