Do you prefer to wear jeans or corduroys?


Not that sort of questions.

But I'm fine either way.


What sort of question?

Approximate 75 years. I figured that'd be long enough for technology to come to the level I wanted to write about, yet still be fairly recognisible. Plus there's another reason... :wink:

I want it to be freely available. I dunno about a digital reading, but I will see, when I get it published, about getting an audiobook version done.

An update for the curious: I have started work on the second book, and improved the first one with a new, minor but important, subplot.

Oh, wait. I have a question. What do you do when somebody interrupts you while you're in a writing groove?

Get pissed off at them, and wait till I am back in the groove. But that hasn't really happened. Most of the degrooving occurred of my own volition. What most people call a 'brainfart', I call a 'thought train derailment'.
