My new novel, Next, is coming out nine months from tomorrow. I can't really say anything about it, or show any of it, but here's the cover.
In the meantime, I'm going to have to practice how I refer to it. I can't really say, "My next novel, Next," because that just sounds weird, so I'm going to have to train myself to say, "my new novel, Next," and face the inevitable questions. "Your next novel is called what?" "Next." "Yes, I know, but what's it called?" Ba-bump.
Of course, it will only get even more Abbot-and-Costello after I finish my next novel...um, that is to say, the one after Next. Because by time the-one-after-Next comes out, Next will have become my last novel. That is to say, my most recent novel, before the, um, next one. (I hope Next isn't my last novel, if you see what I mean.) "So, tell us about your next novel." "Do you mean Next, or do you mean my next novel, the one after Next?" "You already have another one planned?" "Well, yeah, it's already finished." "So you have two new novels after Next?" "No, just one. The next one."
And so on. What was I thinking?
