Do you have any idea when the sequel to void will come out and is there a way for Halar to ever overcome his religion allergy? With all the quasi deific stuff going on with him it doesn't seem to unreasonable. Also, will you ever cross genres? I really would like to see how the wizard vampire mad scientist would do in an world with comic book heroes and villains?

Book Six will be this year, but I've just started the rewrite-and-edit process.
August, maybe, as a wild guess.
The trouble with his religion allergy is the nature of his vampirism. The energy-state beings are, by definition, patterns--they're entities of order. The chaos in his blood, on the other hand, is the antithesis of this. He exists in a dynamic equilibrium with the chaos infestation, and when it's active, the effects of an order manifestation are... unpleasant.
And Eric crosses genres all the time! However, I take your point about comic book stuff. I do have some ideas on the whole superhero thought, but they may wind up in Book Seven... or in a book of Other Tales about the times Eric was "off-camera" during his main adventures!

I have spent a really long time trying to figure out what Eric's perfect inner-demon was supposed to personify. Its exsistance (or lack of) greatly effects the actions of the later books depending on if it is meant to be Eric's sense of moral code, the idealized version of his perfect self, his own self contempt, or something else I hadn't even considered! What did you see the demon as? Love the books!!!
