I am considering dividing the story I thought could be contained by a single novel, Cherry Bomb over two novels. I'm two thirds through the latter, and it's becoming obvious it's a much bigger story. If I do this, if my publisher is agreeable, it would add a fourth Siobhan Quinn novel, Ruby Red . It would have to be written after Dinosaurs of Mars , The Good, The Bad, and the Bird (the next Dancy series), and at least the first half of Beneath the Wide Carnivorous Sky . I have a phone conference with my editor at Penguin on Monday to discuss this, and I should be able to tell you more Monday evening or Tuesday. Contemplating, Aunt Beast
