It looks like Limits of Power will be a summer book, not a spring book, next year. My new editor took on the heroic task of reading the entire Paksworld corpus before leaping into the new book–and I was delighted that she did so. But that was eight previous books–none of them skinny–and she had other duties besides working on my book; she wants to do one more read of that before giving me her revision requests, which I won’t get until the end of the month. So instead of trying to rush the production schedule, which is a good way to introduce accidental errors, the planned release date has been pushed back. It’s not set in stone yet, but it’s “fairly firm” for June.
