Drive-by word count

[rolanni]

Got a few words on George today; slow going while I try to coax a character to tell me who he is.

This would be easier if he knew, himself.

Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:
4,092 words/100,000 OR 4.09% complete

If I understand this correctly, the request is for a return to a Val Con and Miri specific storyline.

. . .as best as I can tell right now, that's not going to happen. Val Con and Miri will certainly appear in future stories -- they're the delm, after all, and the clan has some Interesting Times ahead of it.

There may be a future book that is mostly Val Con and Miri, but I don't see them carrying book after book like they did in the Agent of Change sequence (Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, Carpe Diem, Plan B, I Dare -- one story spanning five books). The work of that set of stories included reuniting Val Con with his clan, moving the clan out of a stagnant and increasingly dangerous situation, and setting up for the next batch of problems, so that other characters can come on stage.

We're under contract for three more Liaden Universe(R) novels -- Dragon Ship (sequel to Ghost Ship, due out in August, which is the direct sequel to I Dare); Trade Secret (sequel to Balance of Trade); and George, which kind of fits into a pocket of Ghost Ship and mostly follows characters we've never seen before.
