Hi Lorraine! Thanks so much for this note and your question :) You made my day.
The Quantum Temple will be coming out in fall, 2025. I actually have to write it - I'm a bit late because we have a new baby and he sleeps a little less than I expected : See Full Answer |

“A con man called Gander had once taught him that there were only three bets. Sometimes, you play the cards. Sometimes, you play the player. Sometimes, you just throw the dice.”

“The Anglo-Spanish penal system either struck visitors as refreshingly civilized or as stingingly rapacious. Sentences could be commuted or pardoned for large cash payments, or for the transfer of assets such as stock or annuities. Absent this, prison corporations happily extended moderate-interest sentence-mortgages to a sponsor, or even to parolees themselves. Visitors could buy different levels of access to the prison via a transparent list of escalating fees, which in the Congregate would have been called bribes. Some nations just did prisons better than others.”

Hey William! Thanks for asking! "Persephone Descending" is available for free as an audio podcast at Starship Sofa http://www.starshipsofa.com/blog/2015...
If you're wanting to figure out where Persephone fits with respect to the Quantum Magician, it occurs about 300 years before the events in the Quantum Magician and about 50 years before the events in a novel I just finished called The House of Styx, which details the foundation of the Venusian Congregate. :)
