Hi! I just finished Quantum Radio and loved it. I'm curious about a few things from the original world: (1) Why did Nora's father disappear? Was it a similar reason to why Ty's father did? (2) What events made Ty's father leave? (3) If Ty's father was visited by Covenant Agents, what did they have to gain by having Ty's father help him escape with the radio? Wondering if these will be answered in the next book.
A.G. Riddle Hi Betsy,

Thanks for the note. Yes, there will be a follow-up to Quantum Radio, and it will address these questions. So glad you enjoyed the book.

Would you consider a sequel to "Quantum Radio"? That was the first of your books that I read and was fascinated by it. I find many multiverse books are really hard to stay engaged in, but you did it very well. The alternate history you introduced in the book blew my mind! I am reading other books of yours and am loving those as well, but will Quantum Radio get at least one more adventure?
A.G. Riddle Hi Braxton,

Thanks for the question. Yes, I've been working for quite some time on a follow-up to Quantum Radio. I really did love that story. I'll have more to share in the coming months.

In the meantime, my new novel, Labyrinth, comes out next month. It's a standalone.

I hope you're doing well and that you had a good summer.

A.G. Riddle For them, there is one looking glass world that they occupy. It is their world they all occupy at a future time--after their work is done.

Thanks for reading.

Hello I keep looking and don't see it- is there a reason I can't find Antartica Station in Hardcover?
A.G. Riddle First:
Thanks for looking for this book in hardcover.

There are a lot of reasons. They're related to the publishing industry, and they are bad for readers like you and authors like me.

I hope they won't become the norm.

Hi Gerry. When can we expect your next book? I just finished Quantam Radio!
A.G. Riddle Hi, and sorry for the delayed reply (didn't see the notification).

My latest book came out in January (Antarctica Station). I hope you enjoy (or enjoyed it), and thank you for following my work.

On a personal query... what is the title of the piano music that followed the ending of the Audible.com version of "The Lost Colony"... and, did YOU, personally, make that selection...?
A.G. Riddle Hi Les,

Sorry for the delayed reply!

And unfortunately, I don't know what the music is like at the end. But I appreciate you listening (to the end) and for the question.

Hope all is well.

Any plans when we will get a follow up to Quantum Radio?
A.G. Riddle Hi Adam,

Sorry for the delayed reply (I didn't see a notification for the question).

The story will definitely continue--but with a new trilogy that features the original characters and some new ones.

I am sorry for the delay on this. Going forward, I'm focusing on trilogies that are complete and released rapidly.

I hope all is well.

Hi Gerry, I wanted to reach out and express how much I have enjoyed the Long Winter series. Recently, I delved into Quantum Radio and found it to be a captivating read. This led me to explore the fascinating topic of Quantum Entanglement. Out of curiosity, I'm intrigued to know: What book have you found most enjoyable to write? Additionally, I'm curious about your process for gaining inspiration for your books.
A.G. Riddle Hi Georgios,

Thank you for the question, and sorry for the delayed reply (I didn't see the notification for this question and others before it).

Departure is the book I enjoyed writing the most.

For inspiration for story ideas, I start with scientific concepts that intrigue me (the phenomenon of quantum entanglement is, as you mention, is one such topic).

I find that writing about topics I'm personally interested in and passionate about makes the work go faster (and the writing is better, in my opinion). And it's personally enriching to learn about something new.

I hope all is well.

Do you plan to continue the departure story? Also I hope you liked my review of the long winter book one.
A.G. Riddle Hi Steve,

First, thanks for the review of Winter World.

Regarding Departure, I was happy with how it ended and am currently working on other stories. But you never know.

Thanks again,

Gerry

Hi, I was wondering: Are those zodiac constellations on the cover of Quantum Radio? Is astrology a plot point in the story (as a believed/actually true thing)? Or is it used for something else?

I seem to be unable to find a hardcover copy of 'The Solar War'. Winter World and The Lost Colony are on amazon but not book 2. Could not find it at any other bookseller around here either. Is it sold out?
A.G. Riddle Not sure--we've had some issues keeping the books in stock.

Hey! My husband and I are *huge* fans! He has read every one of your books, and I've only got a couple left to read! We were wondering if the Rock of Gibraltar had any special or personal meaning to you? We both finished up Lost In Time a couple of weeks ago, and we were talking about your stories yesterday and the mention of the rock in a lot of your books, so we thought we would ask you!
A.G. Riddle Hi Katie,

I'm so glad you both enjoyed the books!

Yes--I visited Gibraltar probably a decade ago and have always been fascinated by the Rock of Gibraltar for a few reasons:

-- its significance in ancient myths (as part of the boundary of the known world)
-- the Barbary macaques (which are present nowhere else in Europe that I know of)
-- the tunnels

For the Atlantis trilogy, the location worked really well with the story, so I used it (and continued incorporating it in future works as sort of a callback).

Hope all is well and thanks for the note.
