I’m very pleased to announce that Lou Anders at Pyr has chosen to buy two more books.  This will  be another duology, and will tell an entirely different story than Ruby’s, although it is in the same universe.  I’m picking up about fifty years after the end of The Diamond Deep, and telling a story about the fight to save a planet and a whole vast ecosystem of orbiting space stations.  It lets me play with human and trans-humans, and to explore a universe I got to build up in the last book but didn’t really have the time to showcase much there.  I’m almost exactly halfway through the first draft of Edge of Dark – which is book one.  I think it’s something readers will like.  I’m pitching this one slightly more adult with no young-adult main characters.
