When I spoke to Wolfe at the Locus event in Seattle last year, he said he was making progress on a third novel (after Pirate Freedom and Evil Guest, and which Mantis later told me was to be titled _Sorcerer's House_ ) about a confidence man who is released from jail and goes to buy an old house in the country, offering to do the work of renovating it in exchange for a deal on the price. His offer is accepted in accordance with the will left by the former owner, a dead sorcerer, a will which mentions the man by name. The novel is told in the form of letters to the man's twin brother and to his former prison cell mate. - Rostrum --- ### brunians at brunians.org *26 Mar 2008, 18:51 · in reply to Michael Straight* And whatever happened to the Wolfe/Swanwick collaboration? . > On Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 10:50 PM, Matthew Keeley > wrote: >> And have we heard anything new on Wolfe's other projects?
