Those who are interested and have read the Damar books may wish to know 
that there exists a third Damar book.  Yes, fully written.  Alas, the 
publisher goofed, and semi-rejected it, traumatizing Robin McKinley. 
She has revealed all of this in her blog.

There, she also says there is a *fourth* Damar novel, unwritten, which 
exists as notes.  She may rewrite the third, and posssibly write the 
fourth *someday*, "If I live long enough."

And now to the big news:  She says that she does not write sequels, but 
that, "There's definitely another book about SUNSHINE’s world waiting, 
fairly close up in the writing queue, but it’s not about Sunshine."

Alas.
