Not NOW, Muse!
Dammit, I'm in the middle of MURDER AT THE SANDS, I'm editing UNDERCOVER GODMOTHER for an interested editor, and I STILL need to finish editing WKQA.
I do NOT need another novel idea right now. Especially an AH one where Edgar Allen Poe survives his illness in Baltimore in 1849, marries Elmira Shelton, travels to England two years later for a lecture tour and to stump up funds for The Stylus, and winds up having to solve a grisly murder in Oxford with the assistance of a young undergraduate by the name of Charles Dodgson.
Although I suppose I could do it as a novelette. Dammit, why do I need to sleep?
