I've done a short piece for the Significant Objects challenge, for this peculiar little item:
which is now up on ebay, through the 21st. It now makes me feel plaintive to look at it; I at least managed to invent meaning for myself, although that is not really the point of the challenge. *g*
Meanwhile, in OTHER significant objects news, I just had this lovely thing put into my hands:
In His Majesty's Service, the new omnibus edition of Temeraire books 1-3 (His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, ...

I am freshly back (and mostly recovered) from an amazing research trip to upside-down land for book 6, which I am tentatively calling Tongues of Serpents, and happy to announce that Victory of Eagles is freshly out in paperback!
I have not blogged about the trip as I have been hurriedly polishing off the last few short stories I had due before clearing my slate for book 6 (and, um, powervoting for Adam Lambert), but my editor Betsy has written up a little sneak preview of the start of book

I don't do well with heated online discussions myself, and so I want to say up front that I don't want this post to be taken as pressure on anyone else to participate. I am only ever for people engaging online how they choose and however works for them at any given moment.
That said, I do want to say in the context of what feels like an unending stream of awful (link torydra_wong's summary of the situation), that this makes me all the more painfully aware (if I wasn't already) why many fans of

Hi all, I am doing a quick live post from Comic-Con just to show off the BEST THING EVER, ie, this:
No, sadly, you cannot has a Temeraire of your very own. This piece was hand-made by Glenn of astrolux design, who made it by repainting a Todd McFarlane dragon in Temeraire's colors and putting together new box art using this gorgeous piece by sandara from the wiki/deviantart. He popped it out and GAVE it to me right in the signing line!
