I don't think that I've mentioned yet that my Celestial Empire short story "Thy Saffron Wings" has been picked up by Pete Crowther and Nick Gevers for a forthcoming issue of Postscripts. For those keeping score at home, this leaves only one standalone chapter and the framing sequence from Fire Star (remember that one?) that haven't been broken out and sold as individual short stories. And there's a better than average chance that, if The Dragon's Nine Sons does well enough, we'll be seeing Fire Star on shelves sometime in the foreseeable future.
