Just finished California Bones. It was amazing! And call me a glutton, but I'm really craving for more... Do you have any plans for a sequel, at least in the far future?

Greg Van Eekhout Glad you enjoyed the book!

There'll be two sequels, in fact. Pacific Fire comes out in January 2015, and a third book will be out later in the year.

Will you be returning to the world of Daniel Blackland (whether directly with those characters or at least something in the world of osteomancy?) I just looked at your website and didn't see anything there, so thought you might share with fans here!

I've got a new long-ish short story in the osteomancy world coming out this fall in anthology that I don't know if I'm allowed to publicize yet, but once I do I'll be posting it on social media and my website. It'll probably take place a decade or two before CALIFORNIA BONES and feature a couple of characters who appear in the trilogy. And it's been out a while now, but there's another short story taking place in the Blackland universe up in podcast form at PodCastle.

Thanks for your question!

Happy Town review from the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

The September 2024 issue of the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books has a nice review of Happy Town.

Keegan doesn’t like anything about his new home, Happy Town, apart from his new pals Gloriana and Tank, two fellow misfit kids who are also highly suspicious of this weird little high-tech town. In theory, Happy Town should be the perfect place to live—climate controlled under a dome, eve
