I wrote another sci fi novel, during my summer in Egypt. It’s a thriller about surveillance, set in the same world as The Stolguard Incident. I have a sickness now, it seems.

Well, I liked your first book a lot, so maybe the second will be awesome also. It's probably very difficult to make money with these things unless they get turned into a Netflix series. So yes, you probably have a dangerous affliction at this point.
A surveillance thriller gets real mileage out of IMSI catchers. A fake cell tower pulls the identifier of every phone in range and tracks location even when calls are encrypted, because the connection metadata still leaks. Plenty for a plot to exploit. What's the angle this time?

Wow, your third work of fiction after "The Stoleguard Incident" and "Broken Money"!

If you can please retail it on your website. I'd love to read them but I'm not an amazon user.

The only cure I know is more cow bell
writing a surveillance thriller in Egypt feels like field research you didn't have to volunteer for. and the sickness isn't writing more, it's that every book makes the shared world heavier — more history that has to stay consistent. does the existing canon constrain the new story or accelerate it?
