Hello! Forgive my delay in answering. I just found the spot to check for questions. Eek!

At this moment, I've five books planned for the series, all contracted with my publisher DAW. Jenn and Bannan will remain the main characters, along with Wisp, but you'll meet others. (A hint? The next one will take Bannan back to Vorkoun.)(less)

I've started by shifting my office into its winter configuration. Won't be opening my big window any more, so I put my standup desk in front of it. That way I can gaze at the sky and treetops to think (or birdwatch) and it's lovely lighting for zoom calls etc.

I confess at page 109 I had to put this aside for a day, to summon my courage--much as Henryk must in his journey--because things get dark and you cannot help but care, deeply, for these characters and their plights. But finish I did and I'm glad. Th ...more

Take your time.
I did. This is a book with rich imagery, startling insights, and constant flips between a reality you think you know (ie believe) to what might be, in the minds of others. I'm a speed reader but this was like savouring dark chocolate.

Julie Czerneda answered Metaphorosis's question: Julie E. Czerneda
Absolutely!! Roger's going to upload the e-book on every platform we can, starting with Kobo, in March. Sorry it's been a while but we/me was tied up with that other project. But that's the one we're jumping on now, so great timing to ask. Julie
