1. E-mail:
I DO answer all my e-mail. I promise, I do. (Well, unless you’re trying to sell me V*iagra or are very, very rude to me.) I am, however, not quick about it. It’s not unheard of for me to take up to two (okay, three) months to get all the way caught up. This is not something I’m proud of, but after years of it being this way, I just have to admit I’m not going to get better about it. I promise to answer. I can’t promise to be quick about it. If you don’t get a reply — especially if you’ve asked questions about a story! — please don’t hesitate to try again and light a fire under me.

2: Yes, I’m a woman.

3: No, there won’t be any more Jake and Tor novels, but there will likely be short stories.

4. No, there won’t be any more Gemini stories at all, sorry.

5. No, no more 911, either. The ‘verse, however, continues in Cheek to Cheek and Turn the Other Cheek. The boys all turn up for a bit, too.

6. Turn the Other Cheek is on Torquere’s Turn of the Screw service until the summer of 2010, when the novel is going to be released as a complete book.

7. Yes, there is a fifth Deviations book. Safe Words, a Deviations novel, has been submitted and when we know more I’ll fill you in!

8. Yes, I do like mint tea, and yes, Scott’s book addiction, Phan’s hair, and any references to The Princess Bride are me putting myself in a story. Bad author!

More will be added (with commentary and expansion, I’m sure) as I have time.
