Lucius Fogg Mystery Written Live
Fast forward to July 1, where Wickline will begin work on The Werewolves of Paddington Court: A Lucius Fogg Mystery. The great thing is though that you don't have to wait for him to finish the book to read it. He's writing it live on the Lucius Fogg Twitter account. Each entry of the story will be posted as it is written and will conform to the 140 character limitation of Twitter. This is actually a pretty cool thing to do and will let interested fans follow along with the writing, gaining insight into the process as a whole.
The Lucius Fogg Mysteries are set in the 1950s and follow detective/occulties Lucius Fogg as he assists his clients in New York City. The stories are told by his assistant, Jimmy Doyle, and in the case of The Werewolves of Paddington Court: A Lucius Fogg Mystery the stories being told involve -wait for it- werewolves. There has been a rash of savagely brutalized corpses found that has local police believing a vicious animal is loose in the city, and Fogg's latest client happens to be a werewolf.
Full press release after the jump.
