Confirmation today that the title Cold Welcome has been approved for the new Vatta book. Hurray! says the writer.
Though of course I want a warm welcome for it when it finally appears. But it’s certainly not the kind of reception Ky Vatta expected on her first return to Slotter Key since she left as a disgraced former cadet captaining an old, inefficient, cargo ship slated for destruction at the end of the voyage.
Revision continues on the manuscript, with one bleary eye on the calendar.

I remember that final time period with the deadline breathing heavily behind me and getting closer. Nothing as exciting as fiction, just lab manuals, but the same pressure. Here’s hoping you don’t hit a bottomless hole like that one on the road from Verella to Aarenis. Best wishes.

Sorry about the duplicate post. New Computer and I are still working out our relationship.

Cold Welcome – Ky uses a fake illness to get a few days off! I suppose better a cold than pneumonia.
Getting rather cool up here in NH – time to put the motorcycle away for the winter.

Nadine, I have The Power (stretches hands, cracks knuckles) and will remove the duplicate for you.
I’m sure you and New Computer will work things out smoothly soon enough.

Jonathan: I wish I’d thought of that. All the trouble I went to inventing the (mumble-mumble-mumble-mumble) and all the books I read and the museum visits for research,a and I could just have had Ky fake a common cold and get into trouble when found out. SIGH. 600-odd pages of unnecessary storytelling, and not enough time for a do-over.
