Penguin only bought one book but she said that she already has the character's stories planned to the end and it depends on whether the readers and Penguin want another book. I'm crossing my fingers that that's the case because like you said, this is an awesome book and it would suck if Laia and Elias's story just ended like that. :/(less)

I am still trying to wrap my head around seeing my name in print like that. I mean, it's not exactly a name you find on keychains at the mall.

I have yet to meet anyone who shares my name, or knows the Persian story I have been told it comes from. I have often yearned to meet someone who had some familiarity with its roots. Apparently it is obscure enough that even my Persian friends don't seem to have strong familiarity with it.

It would be lovely to know the history of your experience with this name, and how you came to choose it for your character.(less)
