“Semiosis” will have a sequel!
The contracts have been signed, the manuscript has been accepted, and the novel Semiosis will have a sequel. In it, Earth sends a mission to the planet Pax, and — no surprise — things don't go well, for a variety of reasons. Stevland is forced to act.
I’ve begun revisions with my editor at Tor, Jen Gunnels, who is a delight to work with. The novel should come out in 2019, and the title has yet to be decided. It’s been referred to as Semiosis: Pax, but in my computer, it’s just “Pax II.”
In addition, Tor wants to buy a third, unrelated book, and I’ve begun work on that. It will be about perfect human clones and their struggle to fit into an imperfect world. At this stage in the process, which is still the zero draft (not even close to a first draft yet), it’s hard to say more because I’m still exploring the story. It should be published around 2020.
I want to thank my agent, Jennie Goloboy at Donald Maass Literary Agency, for all her work to make this happen.

Basil is peaceful, but watch out for philodendron.Yes, there will be Glassmakers in the next book. No spoilers, though.
I had a philodendron that attacked another of my houseplants. This was the genesis of "Semiosis." Honest, that's when I began to believe that plants might be dangerous.
!!!My problems, as a brown-thumb gardener, are more the outside fauna going after the flora. Lately, it's the goddam ravens. And always, always: the deer!
Looking forward to the sequel. I certainly liked SEMIOSOSIS.
Your next book also sounds interesting. (view spoiler)[Kind of like how early Stevland seemed to think of himself as a superior (perfect) being handling his imperfect humans! (hide spoiler)]
