COK progress

THE CHILDREN OF KINGS. This chapter (now a chapter cluster) should be entitled, "Adventures in Shainsa." A summons by the Lord of Shainsa, a bar fight, a mysterious meeting, an assassination... So far, 2 chapters (Ch. 7 & 8), but may expand into 3. At the moment, things are falling nicely into place, which is good because a virus type life form is flirting with my sinuses. Ch 7 is roughly done, and I'm on p. 16 of Ch. 8; may be able to finish today, and that will be a solid week's work.

Dear Deborah,
well, I will read ALTON GIFT in English anyway and will not wait for any German translation. But Darkover is still VERY popular in Germany and there are still a lot of fans who do not read English fluently enough.

By the way, I hope your agent is also offering THE SEVEN PETALED SHIELD in Germany? I am also very much looking forward to that!

Olaf, it's way too soon to talk foreign sales for SHIELD, but my agent (who was also Marion's agent) has an aggressive foreign-sales person, so I think it's very likely.

Hmmm....of course. A little early.

Do you have a tentative US pub date for SHIELD? I hope that Daw will do these in Hardcover.
