I had a question regarding Infernal. It felt different than alot of the other RJ novels that i have read. Did you write it that way in order for it to have more of a emotional impact for your regular readers? I won't give any spoilers but there is alot less action and more of a story that involves heavy character interaction.I liked it a great deal but i just wasn't expecting it. Also FPW on the next RJ novel will we see more of the Wrath of Allah? Thats the impression i got but its better to go to the source just to make sure.Thanks for all the enjoyment you have a reader for life.

Stories find their own pace and equilibrium. The only thing I'm deliberately doing is avoiding a formula. INFERNAL had opening and closing action, but was character-oriented in the middle. That's just the way it worked. The one I'm working on now has loads of action -- almost non stop. Que sera, que sera.

I hate to say this, as I know authors cringe when they hear suggestions, but there's an unused (in terms of any short story or novel title) four word snippet from Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST that sounds ideal for an RJ book or story. I'll point you to something Propsero threatens Caliban with, and see if it rings a bell. Shakespeare long has been mined for story title ideas, and since THE HAUNTED AIR was lifted from John Keats (my favorite poet), and these four words I'm thinking of were underlined by Keats in his copy of THE TEMPEST, there's a certain synchronicity at work...

Fpw Will We See More Of Wrath Of Allah?
