Heh....I got his anthologies on audiobook. Collections of his shortstories and novellas across the years with these great commentaries he recorded himself in between.
Most of the stories were pretty damn good, but one thing that came up again and again in his comments between the stories was his writers ADD. He must have mentioned "I wrote this story with the intent of writing a bunch more with the same characters, but then never did" about ten times. He got distracted by new projects constantly and seemed to only stick with one thing for more than one story when he was VERY passionate about it, he REALLY needed the money, or was very pressured by a publisher.
I worry that he looks at continuing this series as work now and not enjoyment. I hope his involvement with the proposed HBO series renews his interests. While I would be dissapointed if he never finsihed the series, my life would go on....
