This book remains both very comfortable -- it's a return to the world of Newsflesh! How could it be anything but comfortable? I love that world like burning -- and very complicated, since it's been a while since I first pulled Newsflesh off the ground and sent it racing downhill. And it's very weird to be doing this in tandem with the rewrite on Lycanthropy and Other Personal Issues, because of the differences in scale. 'Barely started' for The Mourning Edition is the same as 'a third of the way' in Lycanthropy.
Soon, I get to start sinking my teeth into my gonzo zombie-verse virology in a big, big way, and that delights me all the way down to the bottom of my incurably geeky little soul. Also, I'm making substantially faster progress on this book than I did on the first one of the series, which I consider to be an awesomely good sign.
I'm king of the dead! Er, queen. Er...something.
