On the other hand, at least they will never know disillusionment, instead remaining forever young and filled with hope and imagination.

It's feedback like this, that shows that Mirabilis's readers have spotted and appreciated all those little touches like the railway tracks, that make all our efforts over the last year worthwhile.<br /><br />I and Leo would *love* to have gone on and done the other books - more than anything - but unfortunately, lacking control of the rights or indeed any news if/when it would be published, we had no choice but to shut our little team down after book one. And we don't even know if that will ever appear - certainly not before mid-2011, by which time I doubt if we'd be able to pick the story up again.<br /><br />Still, at least we move on to new projects a little wiser. Well, hopefully a *lot* wiser!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-32484469838399630602010-02-22T14:16:56.346+00:002010-02-22T14:16:56.346+00:00Well I'm up for all eleven of them - so git to...Well I'm up for all eleven of them - so git to it guys!<br /><br />But I am just amazed at the epic sweep of Mirabilis and the way that the whole book just sucks the reader in - really stunning production all round.<br /><br />And still love that sequence of Jack and Estelle at the Gare de l'Est (I Presume) with the railway tracks running between them. <br /><br />Fabulous and so beautifully orchestrated.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-31333279079064616302010-02-22T14:02:36.496+00:002010-02-22T14:02:36.496+00:00We completed nine chapters in all, each comic-book...We completed nine chapters in all, each comic-book length, ie 20-25 pages. And that was still just scratching the surface of the Mirabilis story really, as I worked out that the final page of chapter nine ("Everything Changes") took place on January 20th of the Year of Wonders. So we could have gone on for another eleven books at that rate!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-50434429483490086752010-02-22T10:44:18.664+00:002010-02-22T10:44:18.664+00:00Ulp!
