I have been working on Wolfenheim for ten years. I’ve always known what I wanted to do with it. It is a difficult subject in more than one way, and I have gone back and forth over whether or not to follow that original idea, and other projects have taken me in other directions. And then of course there was my mom’s two-year fight with cancer. That hammered my time and energy for writing. I forced time last year to finish it, but my mental energies weren’t fully there yet, and a friend of mine told me it just wasn’t ready. So I took another look at and realized she was right. In the end, the much-improved story will be both true to my original plan, and also different. And I think that is good.
