It took longer than anticipated...
Mar. 22nd, 2007 11:00 pm...but it's actually happened. 
After blogging about it three months (though only four posts) ago, Greylady has finally made it to Lulu. Things kept getting in the way; I still miss the little black shadow asleep on the sofa...
I found a couple of typos that slipped past both my copy-editor and I all those years ago; I made a couple of very tiny changes (because I could - you'd never notice them); and then its hair was combed, its teeth were brushed and it was given a nice new suit. Diane designs good covers!
I'm doing the same to Widowmaker, but rather more quickly – getting better with practice, I suppose – in between writing short stories for an upcoming magazine and working on the several other projects that were making me feel guilty about ignoring them. That's no way to run a tight ship, so I'll pick one or maybe two and concentrate on it/them. The most likely candidates for Sit Down And Hammer will be Cradlesong and The Shadow Lord: adding to existing series seems like a good idea.
But I'm not starting tonight. (yawn)
