I know! I really don't want Hannibal to die either. I'm currently living in denial with the belief that Ben will somehow invent antibiotics. It's only 100 years too early!
The next book will be called "Crimson Angel" and will be about Ben, Rose, and Hannibal going to the Caribbean to investigate a historical mystery– that, is historical to them, too. Something that happened 30 years earlier or so. Which sounds AMAZING and I can't wait for it. I don't think it has a specific publication date yet, but will probably be out within 2014.
I think it's equal parts glasses, wisdom, and fierceness. It's a nickname that works on many levels!
Tailor-fashion is an English phrase too! It's pretty much dropped out of modern use (we'd say Indian-style or just crossed-legged now) but I've heard it in old fairy tales and novels. For the others, hmmm, they haven't really stood out to me. I suppose I take them just as part of the world-building (odd to call it that when it's not fictional, but I can't think of a better word). I don't find it any more jarring than descriptions of clothing or behaviors that aren't part of my normal life.
