From The Time Roads:
Dee settled himself by the fire. I continued to skim the reports from my Londain agents, but I was aware of his presence, as I always was. I noted the way his bones lay closer to the surface, the fine, milk-white lines, running like spider webs over his weathered face. He was older, so obviously older, than at our last meeting. I was sorry I had not summoned him back to court years ago. No, to be true, I had. And he had politely refused.

what if...
What if Therez had not run away? What would Therez's life been like? Was marriage to Theodr Galt really that awful a fate?

where things are...
Queen's Hunt: the paperback edition comes out June 4th and includes an excerpt from Allegiance.
Allegiance: I finished reviewing the galley pages yesterday. ARCs will go out May 16th to reviewers, with the book itself released on October 29th.
Allegiance marks the end of Ilse and Raul's trilogy. Oh, there will be other stories and other books set in the world of Erythandra, and at least one about Ilse and Raul in a previous lifetime, but unless Fred the Plot guy gifts me with an irresistible idea, this will be the last book-length object about Ilse and Raul in this particular lifetime.
I'm a bit sad, of course. I've spent a lot of time with these characters, and I'll miss them. But I wish them well in this last journey.

Copyedits for Allegiance are done and out the door. Galley proofs should show up next month with ARCs going out to reviewers soon after that. Until then, I'm taking a small break to tackle all those tasks I've put off these past few months.

thief of war
I am very pleased to report that my novella, Thief of War, has sold to Tor.com.
Thief of War tells the true story of how Lir's Jewels were stolen. It takes place 25 years before River of Souls, and four hundred years before Passion Play.
More details when I have them.

If you read one of my books, tell three friends why you liked it, or why you hated it. Ask them to do the same.

I am pleased to report that Queen's Hunt made the 2012 Locus Recommended Reading List.
Meanwhile I am making slow but steady progress on a novella about the theft of Lir's jewels and what really happened.
