EDITED TO ADD:  The penultimate draft of Dragon in Exile stands at 121,562 words

Calm before a storm means it'll snow twice as deep,  Gramma Golden used to say.  He couldn't remember that she'd ever been wrong on it, either.

Help us help our cover artist

OK!  Asyouknowbob, David Mattingly will be doing the cover art for Dragon in Exile.

Today, he wrote to us asking for help with descriptions.  Most of them, Steve and I will need to do, since the characters/situations are unique to this novel

However!

He also needs physical descriptions of Val Con and Miri, who have been described many times in. . .books that David hasn't read, because -- while he's illustrated five books for us, he started with, so to speak, Theo.

So this is your chance to go through the Liaden books that have already been published and find your favorite description of Miri and of Val Con.

Gentlefolk!  Start your engines!
