Friday
I've been helping a friend unpack after a move here from out of town, so it's been a busy week and I haven't been online a lot. It's about 80% done and there's not that much left to do but little things and some final furniture moving.
It looks like The Edge of Worlds will be shipping early, maybe by next week.
I'm also about 80% done with The Harbors of the Sun, the sequel to The Edge of Worlds. I'm hoping to be done by April 5, and then spend the next couple of months slapping the draft into shape. I need to write the climax for a secondary storyline, not nearly as involved a process as the climax for the first storyline, then the wrap-up and ending and the part I call "and they all went out to lunch and felt better."
(There's a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where Mike is singing The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the robots get upset, so he rewrites it so that the boat gets back to port and everybody lives, and it ends "and they all went out to lunch and felt better." I use that for the after-the-climax part when the story's done but the reader needs a little more closure. The trick is not to let it get too far into that territory.)
I also fixed up my pond with a solar pump:
I've also been really enjoying the TV show Lucifer. It's got D.B. Woodside with Angel wings, and it's sexy in a female gaze kind of way, and apparently upsetting to fundamentalists because Lucifer is sexy and kind of weirdly adorable.

Note: if you want a complete-so-far signed Raksura set, I have a signing for The Edge of Worlds at Murder by the Book in Houston, TX, on Saturday April 9 at 4:30, where I'll be co-signing with J. Kathleen Cheney whose new fantasy is Dreaming Death. You can preorder our books (including all the previous Raksura books and Kathleen's Shores of Spain trilogy) at that link and get them signed and personalized, and then shipped to you.
