Glad you’re enjoying the series, Jason! You’re right that the MultiReal concept isn’t wholly original (and what is, anyway)? Don’t know if you’ve read anything by Greg Egan before, but he often engages in the same kinds of speculation. And unlike me, he actually knows what he’s talking about.

Well, I read the first two books in the trilogy in about 5 days and I’m almost halfway through Geosynchron, after finding them in the Kindle Store “Recommendations” list last month. The MultiReal concept is extraordinary- one of those things that, upon reading it, caused me to wonder why it had never appeared in science fiction before. After some time, I realized it has been tried before but your effort is far more complex, imaginative, and engaging than anything I have come across. I find myself constantly thinking about how the concept would function if I were to experience it, and what its implications (and limitations) would be in my world. I would say more about that but I don’t want to spoil anything for new readers. Suffice to say it is a rare book that can dominate my thinking during non-reading hours to the extent the Jump 225 trilogy has. I’m looking forward to more of you work.

Although I disagree with much of Emily’s disagreement (I thought the initial post was brilliant), I do think that “ejaculate” is a poor word choice to describe anything but actual ejaculation. Of sperm. In orgasm. There are many other words, with different and more specific connotations, from which to choose: eject, thrust, toss, jettison, and hurl, for example. In general, too many adverbial dialogue tags become obtrusive for me as a reader, especially when used with terse dialogue.

“I disagree,” she chortled.
“I really don’t care,” he huffed.
“Well, you should,” she whined.

Kail: Patience! I’m guessing that once the iPad comes out — provided it’s not a horrible bomb — my publisher will jump on that format too. Might take a bit, but I’m guessing it will happen.

As for DRM-free… don’t know when (or if) that will happen. Sorry. Now if it were up to me……….
