Aaahhhh...

There's nothing like a good revision letter from an editor who knows her stuff (I am singularly blessed in my editors). Notes on Shattered Dance are in, and while there is tweakage and there are questions (and they are very good questions), it's not another six-week brain-eating blitz. Thank Gawd.

We are particularly pleased with: "First off, you had me in in tears! ...a strong and satisfying story...a triumphant, yet warm and grounded ending... An excellent end to the trilogy I think!"

Just what we want to hear after the ordeal of revising Song of Unmaking, which suffered from a bad case of second-book-itis. (raithen must be grinning because of comments made about trilogies.)

The next week is going to be rather obsessive. But at the end of it, there will be a Book.

And we are also allowed to share the cover, which looks like this:





We are pleased. Yes.

I've done the no-tack riding, though I may or may not ever trust Pluto for that. But the canyon? No canyons here. And if there were, there wouldn't be any cool symbols on them.

Details, details.

Canyons. We got canyons here. Cool symbols just need a can of paint and a brush.

we've got the canyon, one, and it's called Wild Horse Canyon and the symbols are there - or at least they were, and I can't imagine the fire damaged them ;).

Wild Horse Canyon was at the heart of our big fires, and it was very beautiful and I imagine it is starting to revive (I haven't been out yet this year) and it has (had?) Indian Pictographs. And it has wonderful riding trails. but also rattlensnakes. *meep* thank goodness for kind horses ;).
