Anything over three will invariably suffer from writing diseases such as:
filleritis,
overwriteis,
lemon cake obsession, and
if-I-play-this-right-I-can-milk-it-for-the-rest-of-my-life-itis*.
I'm starting a charity to help fund research into cures for these debilitating maladies. A small portion of the proceeds from every stand-alone fantasy novel purchase will be donated to that research. Please give generously.
