My novels so far are sci-fi (not fantasy) but the shorts that people seem to enjoy most are completely different. More like John Updike, about contemporary relationships and very much about people and sexuality. I am hankering to write novel on that basis. In fact it is under way, about the human and political relationships between staff of three foreign embassies in Cyprus. A cocktail of conflicts espionage and lust in a dynamic geopolitical situation. (It's working better than it sounds, in fact it is delicious to write.)
However, I am thinking that I will have to become two different writers. even possibly different agents. Has anyone else here made a split like that? I know there was the 'Iain Banks' and 'Iain M. Banks' thing but I think a completely different identity will be needed.
