I really like the Glamourist Histories series, how many books do you think you will write, and where did you get the idea?
Mary Robinette Kowal
The fifth book, OF NOBLE FAMILY, is the last book in the series. Sorry. As a reader, I find I start burning out after about five books, so I planned to do a five book arc. That doesn't mean I won't come back to the universe, but I would rather bring it to a tidy close than trail off.
As for the idea... I love Jane Austen and I love fantasy. I wanted to see what would happen if they existed in the same book.

I've really enjoyed the short stories of yours that I've read (A Fire in the Heavens, The Lady Astronaut of Mars, First Flight), and I'd like to read a full novel, but your Glamourist Histories concept is just not really up my alley. Do you have any imminent plans to write a novel outside this series?

What do you look to take away when researching material for a new story? Tone, potential conflicts, etc.
