Any questions you may have about The Drowning City, that is. I am moving the questions that were asked in the last post here, so they don't get eaten by the large and moving Torb.

le_marquise_de asks: I'm interested in the geography, curiously. Inspired by your experiences in Indonesia?
It isn't, actually, because I have only vague memories of Indonesia and none of them geographical. Sivahra is mostly a great smooshy amalgam of southern and southeastern Asia. Lots of rain forests and mountains, and the fictional version of Ha Long Bay. The Sivahran kris is totally the Indonesian kris, though. The hill in the forest where Xinai heard pigs being slaughtered comes from Yap. That is really not a pleasant sound.

No. They are busy with other problems. Right now I think that Adam will come back in Kingdoms of Dust, but I've been wrong about these things before. If he doesn't I will definitely write him a short story or something, because he's one of my favoritest characters ever. I would kind of like to come up with a spin-off book about Xinai and the Sivarhan crew post-TDC, but that may just be a pipe dream. Especially since I can't call it The Bone Stair.
Andtxanne says: ..I liked the food. Are there Earth analogues? Sure. Green curry, tom yum goong, lassi, and century eggs I remember off the top of my head. Cardamom cream cakes were probably just wishful thinking on my part. Everything is better with cardamom.
Ask me questions! I can only procrastinate with Bookworm and Tetris for so long.
