Mary Robinette Kowal:
Will you ever tell more stories about Jane and Vincent? I just finished Of Noble Family (having read all five books in a row), and I feel bereft having to leave their world! There's so much more I want to know -- future adventures, stories about Louisa and Amey, does Charles become a glamourist, what Jane and Vincent do next... really, anything and everything about these characters. (I love them all so much.)
