I may end up losing the opening paragraph of Cog which I've always liked. On the plus side that means it'll start with a scene that has an electrostatic mud-cannon.

My book is now in preproduction, the last step before copy-editing. Normally, I'm told, I will be asked to make minor changes to accomodate layout and copyediting, like altering page numbering or changing margins, or things of that nature. Occassionally, authors are asked to revise for tone and that sort of thing. And I am really really hoping not to run into anything of that sort. I really want my editors to date to have found everything like that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It is, Sox! And I'm still finishing revisions on Glass Heart, and trying to tweet and FB all the promo stuff at the same time. Argh. I need an assistant! I wonder what Jensen Ackles does in his spare time ...

Sox, the story was fantastic. Great ending.
