Can\u2019t wait until it comes out. Really great stuff!<\/p>\n Reading your chapter in the shadow of Lewis and Tolkien\u2019s old haunts was an experience in of itself, makes me that much more enthusiastic to read the book!<\/p>\n How are the sequels coming?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, Joel\u2026 funny you should ask. The first draft of the sequel is due to the publisher in two weeks, and I\u2019m really excited about it. Auralia\u2019s Colors <\/em>is \u201cThe Red Strand\u201d of \u201cThe Auralia Thread.\u201d The sequel is looking more and more like \u201cThe Blue Strand.\u201d To me, Auralia\u2019s Colors <\/em>feels like a spooky myth or a very strange dream. The sequel is part-adventure-story\/part-monster-movie. But I\u2019m just the storyteller, and I\u2019ve been drinking far too much coffee this week in order to get the story finished on time, so what do I know?<\/p>\n
