Thanks on all counts...and no word yet on the rest of it.

They're pretty good books.

But the next one will be better.

I tend to lean toward SF because that's what gets caught in my
filter. I'm an SF fan. Always have been. I like other genres, and
tend to play with them from time to time, but SF remains my first and
foremost love.

Title, yeah, but I'm holding that for now; no pub date, I want
to finish it first, then auction it.

Yeah, I started my next novel...it's going to be a slow haul,
because I still have to give B5 my primary concern, but I've been going
batty not doing some prose work, and I decided I finally had to start
it, just for my own soul.

Fraid not.

No, the next novel has nothing to do with B5, anymore than did
my first two.

My feeling is, if I'd wanted to do 'em as books, I'd've done 'em
as books. The story was designed for TV, and that's probably the best
place to leave it.

It's SF.

The new version of the B5 comic will have more info on
Valen/Zathras.
