The period between books, when you are convinced that your creativity has gone AWOL and the thunderous silence of your latest offspring hitting the shelves is still ringing in your ears, is a good time to try something different. So when Murder Squad were invited to contribute to a short story anthology it was just the incentive I needed. Someone (Five’ll get you two it was Sam Goldwyn) once said that a story should have a beginning, middle and an ending, but not necessarily in that order. I couldn’t have put it better myself. I’ve written and submitted two stories, which are different to anything else I’ve done, but I’m worried that they are a bit too clever by half. Fingers crossed that they make the cut.
