“I’ve written in both the third person and the first person, and I’ve enjoyed both. I expected to retain a preference for third person and feel limited by the first, but that turned out not to be the case.
“Since I’ve had readers ask for a sequel to Truth Always Kills and the publisher ask for a sequel to Mad Dog Barked, I think there’s a way to do both in one book even though both of the predecessors were written in the first person. It will require some experimentation, and I truly hope I can do it well enough so that readers either will not notice or not lose patience and stay with it, but I think some terrific scenes can come out of the collision of the two books.”
