Goodreads asked Bob Studholme:

What are you currently working on?

Bob Studholme The honest answer is I'm trying to get something published (Private Universe) after having stopped doing anything when the place I work in threatened to make all of the teachers redundant. We were all doing little else than apply frantically for new jobs, which stifles the creative urges somewhat massive (my CV is non-fiction, honest).
I do have a story which was inspired by Stephen King's 'The Stand' and is similar in being set in a post apocalyptic world. More Europe and the UK with bits in America than King's all-American epic, and an apocalypse that was engineered. The problem is that I can't actually say that I'm working on it. I know where it starts, I know who is in it and I know some of the settings. I have an idea of how it might end, but I'm stumped for what else happens in it. This, for me, is not writer's block. That I think of as being more when you pretty much know what you want to say or have happen, but just can't get it down in words that work for you. With 'The Inheritors', I really don't know what the story is exactly. I had a feeling when reading The Stand that that was King's problem, too, and his solution was to truck in the supernatural and hope people would be too busy looking at the moving cups to realise he didn't actually have a pea under any of 'em.
