Hey Isaias,
First off, sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
The working title of my current one is God of Night, but that probably will change. I haven't come up with an elevator pitch / back-cover blurb that won't get me sued for trademark violation, but the following should get the basic idea across.
If you can imagine Looney Tunes doing a noir detective story about a grizzled, bitter, mean-as-hell incarnation of Scooby-Doo investigating the Exorcist, that would be the general ballpark. So, mystery, a dash of horror, hopefully at least somewhat moving and of course deeply weird.
It's not related to Mount Char, but it's kind of similar in that it's set in the modern world. (Georgia, specifically.)
I don't want to over-promise because I've been so wrong before, but I really think it shouldn't be too much longer.

Maupassant said that talented authors should be called illusionists because of how they can write on something unreal and make it feel like real life. Well let me tell you that you're a hell of an illusionist. Your book was extraordinary and I've never ever read something similar in my life. Props for the originality. So, I was wondering how did you come up with the idea of the Palapi language? Thanks!
