I love how Malcolm and Anna’s bond is not only growing stronger as a married couple, it’s literally a major plot point. It’s hard to make a couple that’s been married for 10 years seem romantic, but they very much are in this book.

All the human chapters in Book II are done for this round (yay)! I've been working on this draft in some form or another for five years. I'm excited to move it into production and turn my creative energy to Book III.
