Dude, seriously, where's the next Ciel Halligan? I need a Billy-fix, pronto.
Linda Grimes Hi, Ash!

I'm so glad you've enjoyed reading the antics of Ciel & her crew. Rest assured they are all (especially Billy *grin*) running around in my head, demanding attention I'm sure I'll eventually be coerced into giving them. They're a rowdy bunch. For now, though, they're in a short time-out while I'm working on another project, one I hope Ciel readers will enjoy just as much. Stay tuned! :)

Best,
Linda

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Linda Grimes I write the craziest scene I can think of--something really out there, that I would never dream of including in the book I'm working on. (Of course, these scenes have a sneaky way of somehow actually winding up in the finished manuscript anyway, like the "manure-spreader" scene in IN A FIX, or the infamous "OMG! I Can't Believe She Did That!" scene in THE BIG FIX.)

How big is the universe in inches?
Linda Grimes Whew! Sorry it's taken me so long to answer this question--it's a time-consuming task to measure something that big with only a wooden ruler. But now I can conclusively, and with the utmost confidence, say that the universe is bigger than ten inches. (What? It's true.)
