Date: 2011-01-02 06:08 pm (UTC)Seanan has said that she hasn't been too happy with how "Sparrow Hill Road" came out, but she's planning on eventually putting it all together and fleshing it out a little more, so I expect a book version in the next few years. All I know is that I now honestly feel that Rose Marshall is a real urban legend, that's how good of a story it is.
