I notice of all the authors I've enjoyed, [You are tied with another author for favorite for me.] You seem to most fans as extremely quotable. Your books seem to have such quotable eloquence from the characters regardless of how different they are.. What do you attribute this to? Is there a conscious method, or do you think/know of some aspect of yourself that lends to this?

I suspect this is down to the way I came to story writing. I began with poetry and developed a love for language at the line by line level.
Some writers are all about the story. They are great story tellers, and not particularly interested in the words on the small scale, just what the thing they build with them looks like when you stand back to consider it.

I seen where the Grey Sister cover was done for the US release in 2018. So how close is Holy Sister from completion? Just curious if your next Trilogy will be set in the same world as The Book of the Ancestor? The realm under the ice is mentioned quite a bit and alludes to a previous highly technical civilization that's underneath to explore.
