throw another bear in the canoe

Whew. A thousand words on Range of Ghosts today, and I am calling it at that rather than pushing on to a second thousand, because I can imagine few things I care less to do than write right now. At least I'm in the middle of the thrilling dawn assassination attempt and chase.

I did make jelly (wild grape/apple) and start a loaf of bread this morning, and I have to go to the post office on the way to climbing. Tomorrow may wind up being an unscheduled day off, just because my brain is tired.

In other news, I got ARCs for The Sea Thy Mistress yesterday. It comes out, at last check, in February. (Yes, it's got a drifting publication date. I apologize; this is the publisher's decision, for various reasons of their own.) I will probably find a way to give away a copy or two before too much longer.

For those of you who have been wondering what it's about, it turns out there's some sales matter and a blurb for it in the back of the MMPB of By the Mountain Bound.

It's more spoilery for the other two books than itself, but it's quite spoilery for the first two, so I place it behind a cut. Because I care.







So now you know.
