Forewarning: I have a memory disorder, so I forgot a lot. Feel frree to chip in.

One of the main views in Cinder Spires is Rowrl (sp?) a heir to one of the cat kingdoms near where the book opens. Most of the talking cats? Assholes. They and humans respect each other, but avoid each other where possible. You let your kids associate with a human, sooner or later they’ll feed them and they’ll be dependent.





Cinder Spires is multiple PoVs, like Alera, with Dresden-style pacing.





A resounding “I’m not gonna tell you~” to someone asking if Cowl and Kiumori were related ot Mirror Mirror.





Still wants to write about Ebeneezer and Langtry in the war they met- they see it as when they were kids, “silly little 40 year olds”- but that’d requrie making a new council and “meehhhh.”

Speaking of which, they’re all horrified at Harry’s relationships with mortals in terms of how they’ll die. They know he can’t handle it.

Jim’s been reading more young adult work, presumably for the Maggie book.

Oberon is dead. Titania, I think, killed hhim a while ago. Competing courts and the like.

Probably only a few more side-stories left, because “They’re tough.”

ALSO. Short-story out soon- actually due a few weeks ago, Jim said- about Molly’s first job as the Winter Lady.





That’s all I remember for now, feel free to chime in! Sorry for spelling errors. Exhausted.
