At the moment I have an idea for a story set in the Caspian Republic but it won't be my next book, or the one after or probably even the one after that. I do have a title though: Yozhik.

The trouble is, at the moment I know WHAT I would write, basically Yozhik's story running parallel to Nicky South's but I don't yet know WHY. As in, why tell this story? What would this character's journey reveal that wasn't already present in Sparrow? I don't have the answer to that yet, but I hope it will come to me eventually. I do love Caspian, and I'm sure one day I'll be back tramping through the misty streets of Ellulgrad, with one eye cast over my shoulder to make sure The Bastards aren't following me.(less)

I find if you work on two projects simultaneously, you trick your brain into working on one to avoid working on the other (the one you work on will, without fail, be the one with the less pressing deadline).(less)

Titan A.E. (2000)

“Don Bluth” and “Science Fiction” is not an association you might automatically make even if, like me, you believe that An American Tail should rightly be considered part of the Giant Fighting Mech Animé genre.

Get in the robot, Fievel.

And that would be entirely correct. Apart from his video game Space Quest, there’s nothing in Bluth’s oeuvre to suggest that he would ever make a big epic space oper

Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson
"Terrifying in the way only Celtic myth can be, full of taboo and symbolism and unapologetic gore. Shades of Catriona Ward and Stephen King, but the author stands on his own with looming, ominous metaphors and stark, sharp sentences. Loved this one so" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Neil Sharpson  (?)

“Nominally, the currency of the Caspian Republic was the moneta, but in truth the coin of the nation was fear. Whoever could inspire fear was rich, whoever lived in fear was poor.”
Neil Sharpson, When the Sparrow Falls

“Power is a poison.”
Neil Sharpson, When the Sparrow Falls

“Ah, there was the word. “Family.” It was an old Irish word. It meant: “Do nothing. Challenge nothing. Change nothing.” Ireland was a rocky garden, dig a few inches deep and you found stone; solid and impassable. And carved into its face, as like as not; the word FAMILY.”
Neil Sharpson, Knock Knock, Open Wide

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Yes, it would look like she was smuggling an ostrich with a tarp on it into a motel room, but this also looked like the type of establishment to not particularly judge for that sort of thing.”
Lindsay Ellis, Axiom's End

“Power is a poison.”
Neil Sharpson, When the Sparrow Falls

“She tried not to think in capital letters. It was a bad habit. If you weren’t careful, pretty soon you’d find yourself Going to the Store to Buy a Carton of Milk—or worse, speaking German.”
Max Gladstone, Empress of Forever

“Ancient sages have written: what you cannot break, you do not own.”
Max Gladstone, Empress of Forever

“Energy spent regretting a decision was best redirected toward addressing its consequences.”
Max Gladstone, Empress of Forever
