   17. Have you ever written anything where the POV shifts partway through to a new MC? Would you?

   In "Glasshouse" (published 2006, made the Hugo shortlist, didn't win) I write in first person present tense … then two thirds of the way through the book, I (the narrator) am murdered. Who finishes the story? Read it and find out!
