✿-Anna-✿ asked Darrah Glass:

Ms Glass, after reading reading A Superior Slave, I was surprised A Most Personal Property, didn't have more of Martin's POV in his new life, will there be a future book that be from his POV? About the struggles and fears he went through when he thought Henry didn't want him, and what his fellow slaves thought, not to mention Timothy's fatherly advise for the new young slave? Hopefully, I'd LOVE that book!

Darrah Glass First, apologies for not responding sooner. I never got a notification about your question and I don't check very often. I'm sorry!

I have indeed considered doing a Book 1.5 that would cover the sorts of things you mention. I tell myself lots of stories about the slaves and their relationships and I'd love to write about Timothy's fatherly pride in Martin's skills and good judgment, or the filial affection Martin shares with Billy and Jerry. I think Martin's early days in the Blackwell house were fraught with anxieties about both his desirability and his actual preparedness for real-world service, which would be distressingly different from the training scenarios he'd excelled in at Ganymede. I'd love to write about it :)

The reason it hasn't been written yet is because it requires both money and time I don't currently have, but knowing that someone wants to read it moves it up the to-be-written list. I am currently working on a lot of different projects, most unrelated to Ganymede, but I'm writing stories about Henry's cousin Jesse and will hopefully get those out later this spring.

Thanks for reading Henry and Martin's story :)
