Of jewels rare and old, and coaches filled with gold

I'm afraid there's not much to see here, as I make a dash for the end of the book. Insert Snapshot of The Author tipped forward in her chair, fingers on the keyboard, glaring at the screen

(It's funny, Agent of Change was written very much at a dash, and so was Conflict of Honors.  Carpe Diem wanted to dash -- indeed, we did dash, and wrote a whole wrong book.  So, then we had to write the correct book, but at a slower pace, and paying close attention to the rules we'd laid down in the previous two books.   Continuity is hard.  It was then, I think, that we got into the habit of thinking things out in-between the writing, and things went from dash to dogged.)

So!  What're y'all doing or thinking about or reading that's fun and interesting?

Trade Secret question

[nocal-kathyf.livejournal.com]

I just finished re-reading Carousel Tide, Silks by Dick Francis, two Honor Harrington novels and almost all of the Lee and Miller chap books plus a few other things. I have really enjoyed having time to read!
I just noticed on Amazon that Trade Secrets is out for pre-order, but a signed edition of the hardbound book is several dollars cheaper than the non-signed one. This does not seem right. I plan on buying from Uncle Hugo but I did wonder about the pricing???

Amazon...I can't figure out what Amazon's doing; they don't seem to have come to terms with the two-editions-of-the-same-book-thing gracefully, or, as far as I can tell from how they handled our previous two signed/unsigned editions -- at all.

Out of our hands. I think I'm glad of that...
