Extrait :
"DF: Some sources state that your novel, Sumerlong, is slated for release in 2010, but this novel seems to have been in works for quite some time now. Would you care to comment on its status, please?

PSB: First, it needed work. Secondly, it was first accepted by Simon & Schuster then rejected because the editor there wanted certain changes made, and I couldn’t make them. And I’m good with editors; I’m patient and I’m flexible and I’m professional. But this was simply not possible. It was a point when you have 10-seconds left before you realize you just ran up against a principle, and he wanted a completely different book. It wouldn’t do. I don’t know why we hadn’t discovered that before, but we hadn’t. Between that and needing to work on other things, it really needed to be looked at from a distance. Now, it’s simply tidying chapter by chapter. Much of it's already done. The bulk of the work really concerns the ending of the book, the last couple of chapters. But I’m still very fond of it. "
