Lisa asked Rod Duncan:

Hello, I haven't seen any updates from you here since The Fugitive and the Vanishing Man came out (which I loved btw). Are you working on anything new at the moment? Thanks in advance

Rod Duncan Hi Lisa. I have been a bit quiet online in the last couple of months. Partly that was the lockdown, and a hugely increased workload, as I and my colleagues figured out how to teach a university creative writing course from a distance without impacting on the quality of education we offer. And partly it's been because I'm been immersed in writing something new. I hope to finish the first complete draft in the next week or so. There will be a fair bit of editing to follow. And then... finding out if anyone would like to buy it. :)

Thank you for your kind comment about The Fugitive and the Vanishing Man. I have not abandoned Elizabeth. But after 6 novels in a row with her as protagonist, I needed to try a different voice and tone, at least for a couple of novels. But I do have the beginning of a plan for a novel that will bring the Gas-Lit Empire down at last!
