(Meanwhile, at the evil skull-shaped citadel of Ann Leckie, which resides on a hilltop inside a perpetual lightning storm for villainous reasons...)

Ann, I loved your first novel and I can't wait for Ancillary Sword. There are so many great features that I hardly noticed the use of pronouns, which I think has been blown out of proportions. Re "just do the thing you believe in" - I totally agree.

Hi Ann Leckie! Thanks for dropping by!

Don't worry so much about what other people tell you will or won't sell (though I know from experience it's hard not to), just do the thing you believe in.

Eric Frank Russell .....

Loved the book and looking forward to the next one!

I just wanted to add that I loved the novel and can't wait to read more of your work. Can you drop us any hints about what your currently working on and what we can look forward to reading soon?
