I started making coffee in the break-room at work today and glimpsed the bottle of white vinegar behind the tin of coffee. I got such vivid image of Messmate Ish cleaning out the coffee urns in Quarter Share that when I returned to my desk I pulled up my Trader Diary folder and loaded Quarter Share into my media player to start over listening to it… again. I hope you’re happy Mr. Lowell, I’ve listened to your books so many times that I can’t even do mundane tasks like making coffee anymore without being reminded of them.

I know it’s repeating what many have said already, but I am so glad that your back on here, well and with things looking good, work, writing etc. Since finding quarter share (not long after you released half share) I’ve not been able to get enough. Whilst waiting for double share to be completed I must have listened to the others several times, a totally immersive and enjoyable experience. I have to say for a few months I was quite worried that you’d disappeared and I’d be left crying into my whisky bottles (I bottle whisky for a living) not knowing what happens next to Mr Wang or the full story of how Sarah Krugg came to be on the Lois McKendrick. SO what a relief when the urge to listen dulcet tones drew me back here and now I know there’s more to look forward to. All the best and I look forward with anticipation to all your future releases.

Great news about the continuing saga, same thoughts as others here – these are characters I have really missed. I love your writing and the way you voice brings them into being electrifying people. Can’t wait for more.

Nathan, I’m so glad to hear about the day job and the soon-to-be Captain’s Share. The characters from the Golden Age seem so real, like friends I don’t see enough! Thanks…hang in there.

Captain’s Share SHOULD be out this summer. How close to the end of August, I don’t know yet

Nate, how’s the story coming along? I find that I really do miss Ish and the crew. I was so immersed in the Universe you created that I’m having withdrawls. Even listening to the series 3 times was not enough. I just finished Sigler’s Nocturnal for the 2nd time (I was one of the characters btw, AND I didn’t die!!). Moving on to his Contagious and hoping that will take me into Captains Share. If not , then it’s The Share series again. Hope all is going well with you.

I’ll see what I can do, Cicely.

Ishmael will be older in the next one. That *should* be a stabilizing influence.

~claps~

i’ve been enjoying your work since the beginning!

please take your time and enjoy (if that’s possible) the writing process

one request … erm, is it possible to have more fully enfranchised female main characters in the next one? while i enjoyed the last story, i’m not sure i can handle another tale of potential sexual violence around every corner.

I’m REALLY looking forward to Captain’s Share and Owner’s Share. I enjoyed the way the Horatio Hornblower novels tracked Horatio thru his career and I love the Ishmael Wong story just as much.

I hope you are having a great time at Balticon.

Just a quiet note to let you know how very much I have enjoyed your first five audiobooks. I have listened to the entire series at least four or five times and never seem to tire of them. I compliment you not only on your writing creativity, but also on your skills in presenting the books so well in the audio format.
I’m very much looking forward to any new efforts which glide from under your pen (squeek out of from under the keyboard ? ).
