And the answer is yes! Book 4 (focused on Laz) will be out in May (preorders next month if I can get the cover done!), and I'm hoping that book 5 (finishing up the Sam/Ulysses arc) will be out by the end of 2025. I've written several other books in the series about other characters, but I don't have an exact publication timeline. I'm hoping that altogether there will be nine books, and possibly one collecting short stuff (like "Dous") if I manage to write enough short stuff to make a book.(less)

Of course olives are green--actually, I think olives come in a lot of colors depending on ripeness and variety (and how much evil is in them, I assume; I don't really like olives). In English, "olive skin" is a way of describing people who have tan or brown skin with a sort of greenish undertone to it--that is, people who look like their ancestors lived in the Mediterranean, southern Europe, Northern Africa, and a few other regions.

Sam looks like that in part because, as you note, he's also Dionysus, who is Greek. He also looks like that because the Greeks thought of Dionysus as a god who had come to Greece from somewhere else, although archeological evidence suggests he's actually from Greece and had been there for a long time. Similarly, to the average Wisconsinite, Sam will look vaguely foreign, although his family has lived in Wisconsin for a long time.(less)

Despite having been a Doctor Who fan since I was twelve, it was not until this audiobook that I discovered how the British pronounce not just "corollary" but "decade." What.

This is a nice little mystery told along two timelines--the 1892-5 "halcyon d

Okay, I do have something to say about this.

It's interesting, although not called out in any way in the text, the extent to which toxic masculinity is a problem for Scott. It is very normal to have friends who are the same gender as you are and to go

“Eli shook his head. "When we first met, I thought you two were respectable."

"Really?" Sam sounded excited.

Ulysses didn't look over at them, even though he must have been working by feel in the dim light. "I knew taking this job was a mistake," he grumbled. "People hear you're a professor, that's the first thing they assume.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“Laz nodded. "Whip a shitty and I'll show you the buyer's place."

Eli stared in mute incomprehension. After a moment, he cleared his throat. "I beg your pardon?"

"Make a U-turn." Laz tilted his head.

Eli finally put the car in gear. "What was that majestic piece of Midwestern vernacular? Whip a shitty?"

Laz rolled his eyes.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“I can either be your doctor or your boyfriend," Eli said. "And if I have to choose, I don't want to be your doctor.”
