My first book, Alter Road, was originally going to be titled Battle of Detroit, and then, later, Fall of Detroit.

My first novel, Alter Road, was just over 88,000 words. Today I passed the 44,000 word mark of my follow-up novel, Red Glare. If Alter Road is any guide - and it is, of course - then I've just crossed the halfway point.

How I came to write fiction didn't happen overnight (see my previous post, An Academic Foray into Fiction).
