Finally have achieved some traction on the next Darkover book, whose working/probable title is The Children of Kings. (I inherited the title and it pertains only vaguely to the story, but there's been so much buzz about it, I might as well roll with it rather than leave readers waiting.) I had started drafting it between rewrites of The Alton Gift, then realized I had to go back in time to Hastur Lord for background on one of the viewpoint characters, so it's been a while since I've had my mind in this story. I went through a too-long period of "Searching For The Way IN" but have -- fingers crossed! -- gotten past that gnarly stage. We are now up and running -- both in terms of writing and in terms of what my protag is doing. He has Left D/o/d/g/e Thendara and is officially On Adventure. Stay tuned.
