Blue Aspen asked P.C. Cast:

I want you to know that your books (Tales of a New World) touched me deeply as I’ve been through a few of the tragedies described, and I appreciate your accuracy in their description. Please tell us when you have a release date for book 4!! I also wanted to know if you’ve ever considered exploring the non-binary genders in your novels? It’s the only way I can imagine their social constructs being more accurate.

P.C. Cast Thank you! I love that series. As a survivor of sexual assault I try to depict it as accurately as possibly without being too triggering. Have you read Wind Rider? River isn't particularly identifying as male or female in that book - but they don't have pronouns except for he/she. I do plan a love interest in book 4 with a female. River doesn't care about gender as much as heart and soul (as it should be!).
