I mentioned here that a few other horror authors and I were going to write a novel-length book, containing three novellas, one written by each of us, but we weren’t sure what the theme was going to be. So, now that I have finished and sent out my short story collection, I figured it was time to update you on what is going on with this particular project.
The theme of the book will be ‘a doctor makes a house call’ and each novella will be loosely based on this theme. Basically this means that each novella will contain this idea in the first chapter, but from there each of us takes the story in our own direction.
I mention this now because I have begun the writing for my part of the book. Though, I’m not going to give you any clues yet with what my novella contains, I will say that the writing is going well…and fast. At this rate I should be done with my novella in 8 days (a novella is a minimum of 25K words) – so you do the math where I’m at right now. But, even though the writing is coming fast and furious right now, I doubt I’ll be able to keep up this pace or have the time to do so, to complete it in only 8 days. But, hey, never say never…right!?
I’ll let you know more about this project as updates become available.
