Meanwhile, here are some earlier posts about the writing process, including two snippets.

Progress on The Children of Kings (September 2011) (includes snippet)

You can also read a rough draft of the opening chapter here: Please note that my editor has not made me tear it apart and put it back together again, so it may change. It will change.

Oh, this is wonderful. Now I can finally read Hastur Lord! I try to always keep an unread Darkover book in my life--it gives me something to look forward to! I bought it the week it came out, and now I can READ it!!!!!! (Yes, it has a bit of dust on it, but I'm patient!)

Excellent. I've been trying to find time to re-read The Alton Gift for the last few weeks, but now I think I'll think I'll hold off until maybe February next year, so my memory will be refreshed.
