• Commented on Lighting up again
  That 17 year gap between the books - must be interesting (challenging?) for you writing Miriam again: in the first books she was a young, ambitious journalist - presumably in the new trilogy she... won't be....
• Commented on Lighting up again
  'a cave or D&D style "dungeon"...' You open the door. Immediately, you are attacked by a pack (1d6 + 1) of story synopses. Make a saving throw vs bite or be infected......
• Commented on Lighting up again
  Imagining you moving across a misty landscape of words, being stalked, mugged and attacked by half-formed, feral novels. Or are you really doing the stalking? Either way, thanks for heading out there to catch these specimens and bring them back...
• Commented on I have a new book cover
  I have deep suspicions of bellringing. All those permutations. And taking place in towers, among the stars, as it were. Do we really know what goes on up there?...

• Commented on New Guest Blogger: Ian Tregillis
  Hello Ian I know it's bad manners to disagree with Charlie, but... while I loved both Bitter Seeds and Coldest War (what you did with the plot in the latter was especially breathtaking) and I am really looking forward to...
• Commented on In case you were wondering ...
  If (when) you do manage to cut out that 20%, is there any chance that some of it may be coherent or self-contained enough to publish / make available online - as an extra (not even necessarily a story)...? Or...
