Although Moore prefers to write stand-alone novels, Jonathan Crowley, who made a previous appearance in Serenity Falls, the massive tale that was split into three separate, yet linked mass market books.  As Moore says, "Crowley is a favorite of mine, but I probably wouldn't have used him again if there hadn't been a lot of requests from the first publisher and several fans for more of him. I guess people like anti-heroes and he definitely qualifies. I'm always curious as to what exactly he's going to do next. He's unpredictable. I mean, sure, I know what side of a fight he'll chose, but he surprises me with some of the decisions he makes."

And novels aren't the only thing that keeps the prolific Moore busy.  Although he is the author of some 18 novels, he has written many short stories and supplements for role-playing games.  It's unclear when he has time to sleep.

"I try to work on only a handful of projects at a time. I have a laptop that I write on and a PC that I work with and normally I'll handle one project on each at any given time to let me have a little variety. But I learned the hard way how easy it is to spread yourself too thin. I tried a couple of years ago to write three novels at the same time and to this day I've only finished one of the three. There's only so much the brain will tolerate and as I'm normally reading three to four books at a time, I guess I was bound to learn my limits."

But just because he's busy, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to try his hand at graphic novels.  "I've actually got a couple of proposals sitting in slush piles at Marvel Comics and I would dearly love to write for about half the characters that are out there, as well as to create a few new ones. I did start off in comics and from time to time I still do a small script. The latest is for a novella of mine called The Wild Hunt, and will probably only be available in the collector's edition of the book, but I would love to do more work in the comic book field. Any comic people out there reading this? Heh heh heh."
