AND THERE WILL BE DRAGONS!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters, Comrades and Friends....
The book is finished.
It's done, complete, and as much of the story as fits into 200K words is told. I am now doing a last read-through, checking for glitches, making sure I've fixed everything my first readers pointed out, and all that sort of thing. I will be delivering it to Tor in January, since there is absolutely no reason to deliver anything in December, and then...
We wait.
Well, actually, *you* wait. *I* will be off writing another book set in the "One Dozen Daughters" universe, though not, alas, the sequel to "House of the Four Winds". The title is KINGDOM AND CROWN (at the moment) and it's set about two hundred years earlier.
The war is over. The Queen is dead. The Lord Protector who rules the land has outlawed magic. But the Queen's daughter has survived...
It should be fun. And at least I will stop thinking in Old Elvish for a while.
Everyone have a Joyous Solstice, Happy December, Glorious Sol Invictus, and suchlike. I will post updates when I get them, but based on past experience, there's going to be nothing much but the sound of keyboard clicks for several months to come.
Stay safe, everyone.
