Oh, and can you please please please come to CONvergence in Minneapolis next year? It is held in July and it is a blast. Although your book more closely fits the theme for this past year. But still. You should come!
Scott Hawkins
Thanks for the invite! I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for answering! I agree about the David/Carolyn scene, and I think it was handled really well. I actually felt that the bull scene was a lot more shocking. I also think the book is more dark fantasy than horror. How did you know when to make the switch from writing books for 'the drawer' to writing one that you felt was good enough to try and get published? Thanks!

My question is fuck you, pal. It shouldn't be legal for someone's first book to be so unnaturally good. I've had my share of page-turners, but your book hacked my perception of time to bits. Errands were ignored, sir. I hope you find the inspiration for a second Char novel, because you've planted a seed that's ripe with potential. Was there a particular thing that fuelled your inspiration for this novel?

Mostly I just want to say that I read it twice in a row. It was that good. So thank you. Also thanks for the Afrikaans, that doesn't happen often. So that I have a question: Do you have a particular interest in languages? (Over and above obviously being an author). Choice of carolyn's category + the language of the hunt + invented language + being a programmer seems to indicate that's a possibility.
