Imogen Scotson asked Laura Thalassa:

Hello! I just finished reading Pestilence. I'm loving the series so far and I've noticed the chapters don't tend to be too long compared to other books, which is something I love, the pacing just feels so good and books with shorter chapters are easier for me to read. I was wondering if the chapter length was something you had thought about or if that was just something that came as you wrote?

Laura Thalassa Oh, I'm so happy you enjoyed Pestilence and the book's pacing. To be perfectly frank with you, I usually add in my chapters during the very last stage of edits for my books, Pestilence included. Usually I add in the chapter breaks where it feels like there is a true or good transition point. It just so happened that a lot of events happened very rapidly in that book, hence the short chapters. :)

I just finished reading Pestilence because it is on the 10th annual GCA. I fell in love with the book and I hope it wins this year. Your imagination must be one hell of a gift because you've got me hooked on the Bargainer series now. Keep writing many more amazing books because they are very unique. BTW, when is War coming out? Early 2019 or late?

A Goodreads user asked Laura Thalassa:

Dear laura, I am an older reader of your books, and i love them. As a game i thought massie williams( game of thrones , doctor who) would be a great lead actor for your queen of all that.. Series. She is talented, can be made to look pretty, and can hold her own against older long term talented male actors. For montes, i thought daniel day lewis, or christian bail. Is that spelling correct? See post 2..

Hi! I just reread The Fallen World series and then the Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith and wondered if by chance this book inspired your series? I love them sooo much! And I got a bit similar vibe of them both. <3 p.s. Every book of yours is art! Thank you!
