No question, just wanted to say thanks for an amazing read. The Flight of the Silvers was brilliant. And tell your publishers to back off! Even though I am dying for book two, you should take your time. Wait, I do have a question: Have the rights been bought yet for a movie? Best, Helen

Hi Helen,
Thank you so much. I love it when people tell me to take my time. Such a nice contrast to the pressure I'm always putting on myself to get the book done ASAP! I still wish I was the kind of author who wrote shorter books, faster, but that doesn't seem to be the way I swing.
Luckily, the publisher's been very patient with me. They understand that it's better to get the book done right than fast. The good news: I'm finally nearing completion on "The Song of the Orphans." I'm just a hairsbreadth away from reaching the final chapter, and I feel very comfortable about the time I put into it. You can say many things about the novel (and the people on Goodreads will), but you can't call it rushed. The book will also clock in at well over 700 pages, so...yeah. Clear your schedule when it's ready.
As for the film/TV rights to my story, Radar Pictures currently owns them. They're very eager to turn the Silvers trilogy into a TV show and I'm right there with them. Of course, getting anything made in Hollywood is a long and fragile process. There's no telling what will happen, but my fingers are perpetually crossed. That's probably another reason why I write so slowly.

Daniel, you are so slow... and what? You are saying "hoping it comes out before the end of NEXT year" – argh; I hoped it could make my shelf this year!...and while I'm waiting for the next Silvers story - I also want all these other books you haven't written yet. Slick is one of the best books within the last years; it made it to my classics list. Please clone yourself multiple times and keep writing – I’m addicted!

Exciting news! I hope your book does get made into a TV series. Do you know which station will pick up the series... SyFy Channel, AMC, BBC, TBS or FXX? Normally, I would say BBC, but SyFy has fantastic shows: The Magicians & 12 Monkeys. You probably already know that Victoria Schwab & Lee Kelly had their books picked up? Love their books!
