Thank you!

1 - I’ve used that setting in a couple of short stories, but for the novel, no. There was never more to the Sahel episode. I’ve been surprised how many readers really connect with that section.

Hi everyone! Thanks very much for the many kind comments. I’ll be checking back through the afternoon and evening, so if you’ve got questions about the book — whether the story itself, the book’s publication history, associated short stories, etc. — post them here and I’ll be back to answer them.
