Quick ? Trip & GEAR HEADS
Just got in from a "quick" trip to Madison, WI.
Man! 24-hour trip there and 16-hour trip back. Delays from weather, broken planes, canceled flights, and lost luggage!
And to top it all off, I was routed though O’Hare International, a place that Dante obviously missed somewhere between the 6th and 7th Cantos of Hell.
Anyway, new interview up at GEARHEADS OF WAR.COM.
I'll post tomorrow, when I can think.

Wow. So THAT's what you've been busy with. Well, I hope the trip was at least worth it!
I also hope that there wasn't anything terribly valuable in the luggage...
Sounds typical of today's travel. Of course, i have to go through that tomorrow...i'll bring an extra book or two.
And they probably would find you. Those darned ninja's.
Just remember most (if not all) unclaimed lost baggage ends up in Scottsboro or Boaz, Alabama. Both are right in the Appalachain Basin, so hopefully you have a taste for Brunswick stew and red eye gravy....Yay! Made myself homesick.
Anyway, on the collaboration bit, I was wondering...How the heck does that work? Does one person write something and the other goes through it and changes and adds their own flavor or do you sit down and brainstorm then one does the writing? It's been an interesting concept to me ever since I started reading the Elvenbane series. (Although it'll be interesting to see what happens with it now that Andre Norton has passed on. That's probably a slightly more difficult collaboration to work out.)

that's a good question nikoda. I always wondered myself.
I personally thought that the writing was done together, or when not in the vacinity of the other person, that they wrote seperately and combined whatever was written.
BTW, bungie just announced Ghosts of Onyx. If anyone knows about onyx and what it is, they know it should be very interesting simply from the title.
I did eventually catch up to my luggage. Good thing, too. I had the HALO novel proof pages inside!
Nikoda -- on collaboration. Not sure how this works. I've just started collaborating with another writer on a new project. One of us came up with the core idea, we both brainstormed up an outline, and I just handed him off a very detailed outline to start writing from. So a lot of back and forth.
oh man, madison? i could have driven over and begged you to sign first strike for me! =D
can't wait to Ghosts of Onyx next one in november!
