Well, what could I say? I have my pride. I said, "No, of course not! Tired? Of thinking up a new mystery every month? Don't be silly. With a dozen or so books under contract, what else have I got to do?"
So I suppose I will keep on, and in two and a half years, always assuming it doesn't kill me, I'll have thirty more stories.
I just thought I'd warn you.
