I have this really cool, intriguingly dark novel started. It's full of passion, seduction, addiction, greed, a strange alternate world, and even some romance. I call the work in progress Sirens of Sayhurn. I've worked on it, abandoned it, plotted and re-plotted it half to death, redrawn the...

When I was asked to talk about a work-in-progress, I hesitated. It's not my style to reveal anything I'm doing until it's done. You can see my efforts in the blog Light and Transient Causes (here or on my blog).

The Remittance Man
By J M Cornwell

In order to answer Red Room’s blog question of the week, “What Would Shakespeare Blog” I would need to know what a blog is.
