I am pleased, too, that the publisher's website says you are already working on a third book in the series.

Yes! This one ... is going to be a novel.

This one ... is going to be a novel.

Sweet.

(That was what happened with nineweaving's Cloud & Ashes (2009): "Jack Daw's Pack" was a short story, "A Crowd of Bone" was a novella, and then Unleaving was a novel.)

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK.

Also v. excited about the bioluminescence pictures. Nature is so bizarre and delightful??

Yay! I am excited to have you read it!

Nature IS so bizarre and delightful--e.g. sovay's dialect-speaking naked mole rats!
