Hi Ann. I hope you and your family had a good Christmas and new year! Just a quick question - are you at the point yet where you know what your next novel is going to about? If so, any idea on a time frame for when you expect it to be published? I was just mulling over what novels I'm looking forward to in 2016, and I wondered whether I'd have the pleasure of reading your next novel this year.
Ann Leckie
My next novel is due by the end of 2016, which means it certainly won't be published before 2017. Sorry to make you wait!
And I have indeed started writing that novel and know what it's about, but I'm the kind of writer who doesn't like to talk about unfinished projects much, so maybe once I have a complete draft in hand I'll be able to say more.

Hi Ann! Is there a reason you chose to title the second book Sword, and the third Mercy? My SO keeps insisting that Sword would have been a better title for the final book based on how the ships are ranked, curious on what you can say on the choice? In any case, we're both excited for for the release!

Just finished Ancillary Mercy, and absolutely loved it. Should we be expecting any more books set in the universe any time soon? Seems like there's a lot going on, and even if Justice of Toren's story has reached its end, I really want to know what happens next! Would also be really cool to see inside the actual Radch at some point.
