I'm so excited to hear that there will be a novella that dives into the background of the witwomen! That is the exact side story I really wanted to know more about after reading Book 1. I can't wait to get my hands on that novella! I don't see it currently listed on your website or Goodreads, though. Is there a projected date for its release?

Ahoy, Mara! I've been working on the novella since finishing the first draft of Book 2 (Master Artificer) and I'll continue to work on it until I get my edits back from my publisher. I've got a handful of chapters written at the moment and am expecting something between 90-150 pages.
As for other questions regarding the novella, I expect it will solely be published in ebook form and will (most likely) be distributed by my UK publisher, Gollancz, sometime this summer. It's unclear whether they will also distribute in the US or whether I'll self-pub that myself (due to marketing concerns, my US publisher has chosen to pass on buying rights to the novella). The short story will cover some of the interactions of the witwomen prior to and including the climax of Book 1. The main character of that narrative will be Faith (Myjun's best friend and Therin's crush). If things go well with this ebook, I'm hoping to continue Faith's narrative between books 2 and 3 with a second novella.

I got a handwritten note with my copy of Master of Sorrows (signed yay!) and It says to shine a UV light at it (which I did) but nothing showed up ): The only reason I got the note is that the guy in Waterstones was raving about the book and I said I'd give it a go. What was meant to show up on the paper?
