| SFS: The Newbury & Hobbes series offers both self-contained, standalone stories and longer story arcs that span multiple novels. How do you juggle that? Do you have the future stories already mapped out? GM: It’s developed over the years, if I’m honest. I’ve always had certain character arcs in mind, but the more I’ve written, the richer the world has become and the more stories that have presented themselves. I originally conceived N&H as a series of short stories, and it was only later that I decided to give them a spine of novels. So yes, I have lots of the story mapped out, but I’ve also left myself huge spaces to explore at my leisure. One of the things I enjoy most about writing for this series is the flexibility it awards me – if I have an idea for a story, I generally write it, whether it’s a ghost story, a murder mystery, an action adventure. One of the things I’m really keen to do is to continue building the alternate history that began with N&H. Most of my other fiction takes place within the same continuum, such as the Ghost novels, the Sherlock Holmes stories etc. I’m keen to map some more of that out in future projects, to see what stories come out of it. And it’s great fun seeding in little links between books and stories, too. Some of the stories in the Casebook do just that, introducing Peter Rutherford from Ghosts of War, for example, into the N&H stories, along with Professor Angelchrist from my Doctor Who novel. |
