My agent advised against it, and the advance was very, very small (we’re talking about a small press here). And when I went back and looked at it, the murder mystery wasn’t that great to start with.

Besides, writing fantasy is really where my heart is right now. I just thought it was funny that I’d get an offer after I’d forgotten all about the mystery — twice!

And why can’t you put out that murder mystery under a different name? Be Estella Jewelweed or something, and make no bones that it’s you under a different name to keep the mysteries separate from the fun stuff. With so many authors crossing genres these days, why NOT?

Well, okay, there’s that time factor. But other than that!
