Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Regina
Regina asked Ada Palmer:

I was thrilled you made my hometown Ingolstadt the Brillists' capital. Let me guess why: because it was Frankenstein's "birthplace"?

Ada Palmer Yes, that was part of the reason. I knew I wanted it to be in that region, and that I wanted the city to be about that size and with that kind of historic downtown and layout. I narrowed it down to a few cities then looked up their histories and cultural associations, and the Frankenstein association put Ingolstadt over the top.

Do you have a release date for "Perhaps the Stars"? The evil bots at amazon have deleted my pre-order altogether! (And I can't re-pre-order it for whatever reason).
