Goodreads asked Wendy Orr:

What are you currently working on?

Wendy Orr I'm just starting a new book, set about 200 years earlier than Dragonfly Song, so about 1625 BCE, at the time of a volcanic eruption on Santorini. So right now, I'm going back and forth between my plot questions and research, as they each feed into the other, and the characters are growing steadily in the background. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with the sadness and horror of the history, so one of my tasks is to see how that can be represented and yet contained. It's a time of bumbling around and sudden discoveries, in which it's important to have faith that the story will work itself out.
