I just want to say thank you for the excellent book “The Translated Man”, I got hooked by the premise (stumbled upon it via io9), bought the book and now part of the raving fanbase. Mr Stitch is on its way. Greets from Germany.

I guess I assumed that if anyone had read the Translated Man, they had read Mr. Stitch. My bad. You know, this is really cool, actually having the privilege to talk to an aspiring author such as yourself. I have to ask, what was your main inspiration for the character Elijah Beckett. Speaking of which, I’m working on some pixel animations of what I imagine Beckett looks like from your descriptions. I have no idea when they’ll be finished, as my Kindle (actually, 3 of them) broke and I only have a vague recollection of how you described him, mainly his clothing, and my skills in pixel art are anything but perfect. Anyway, can’t wait until In Corsay is finished.

(Sorry about the edit, though; I figure it’s good enough odds that anyone here has read The Translated Man, but maybe not Mr. Stitch.) The third book, In Corsay is in progress now.

I tried to come up with a sentence that best describes how I felt about the series, which, to my understanding, there is going to be a third book, and the closest thing I could come up with is this, “You scared the living ichor out of me when [Oh, whoah! Spoilers, man!]!” Also, I almost vomited, for lack of a better word, when I first read the description of the Translated Man, how his trans-dimensional physics kept his body flowing in and out of reality, and all of the limbs and body parts existing and non-existing a hundred times and none all at the same time, all the while having that disgusting death scowl watching everything from a hundred different times just freaked me out. This comment in getting out of hand, but I just want to say, that all of your work is excellent.

So – Mr. Stitch is out. Physical form, even! Hopefully I can get my copy in time for Christmas.

Well, you might have to give Mr. Stitch some time. But, like, by tomorrow, definitely.

As good as Vandermeer or anything else out there. Please finish the next book and get it on the market. Everyone I have recommended it to is flabbergasted by how good it is. Yours,

Buuuuut….June was a little optimistic. The draft of the book is done, but I won’t be finished editing it by the end of the month. I’m tentatively saying July right now, because I think July is a totally plausible thing to say.

The first draft is done, for serious, though; people have seen it and everything.
