First public taste of new Wild Cards stories
Kevin Andrew Murphy December 12th, 2006
It’s a lot of fun working in a shared world series, making new characters, borrowing other people’s characters, getting to see what other people do with your characters.
Laura Mixon and myself are both authors for the Wild Cards series. I’ve gotten to look at her new character, both bio and scenes (but I’ll leave her to drop hints and particulars). I’ve also been very pleased to see my own new character, Rosa Loteria, showing up for various scenes and cameos. None of which I can reveal as yet, of course, since George R.R. Martin is still editing the book–and some things have to stay a surprise for publication–but I can point out Daniel Abraham’s new character, Jonathan Hive, aka Bugsy, and point everyone over to the first public glimpse of him and several other characters in the preview of Daniel’s story “Jonathan Hive Sells Out!”
I’m really looking forward to reading the whole thing.
The latest round of Wild Cards should be fun — there are some great stories in the lineup, by some kickass writers. My character, John Montano, is kind of a pyro… but in a good way…
Man, read the sample and now I’m hooked. Love the world they’ve created and all the possibilities.
