1. When you return to The Night Angel world after Light Bringer, will Blue be one of the characters? 2. Do you plan on continuing to work with Graphic Audio? That's where I've read your books, and I love how it makes them come alive. It would be a shame for your books to no longer be made available in that format.

Let me answer #2 first (because I like to be a little non-standard). I've really loved working with Graphic Audio and do intend to keep working with them. I don't see any reason why we wouldn't, but I don't think we have contracts yet for some of my future works, so there's no guarantees.
#1 -- it depends. To rip off a line from Emily Dickinson, I dwell in possibility. I have so many characters in the Night Angel world, and several different ways to tell their stories, that I'm not 100% decided on what route I'll take. Especially when you have characters of wildly different ages. If you choose to wind the clock forward 10 years to tell about the most interesting period in Blue's life, you'd be skipping past the most interesting periods in several other characters' lives. I want to do it all, but the reality is that at some point I'm going to have to make some hard choices of who falls by the wayside, or has only snippets of their story told, and who gets a strong focus. But yes, I still have Blue in mind.

#1. Would you classify paryl as microwave, terahertz, or something else entirely? #2. Drafting and color perception outside the visible spectrum seems pretty well researched - can you talk about your research & creation process relevant to those things, and whether there is some small detail you don't expect fans to notice, but are proud you got right?

Hello Brent, Just got into your books recently through Graphic Audio. First of all, what an amazing series. I am currently listening through broken eye and the series just keeps getting better. My question is: do you feel the Goodreads "Best books of 2014" is a popularity contest and not really a vote based on content? I felt ur book was the best fantasy of the year
