I will chime in as well - my favorite author, bar none! His work has
meant a great deal to me. And isn't he supposedly writing another
book, or was that a false rumor? Any further word on that?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

What I gather, just looking at the various reports on it as time marches
on, is that it's been in process for quite some time and he either works
on it or sets it aside based on numerous vagaries. One of the last
things on it was that Amazon has a listing, which it turns out doesn't
mean a lot. He *has* done work on a new novel, but whether we'll ever
see it appears problematic right now. Haven't heard anything new in a
while.
