We have titles! Iago gets two out of three; Cyrano gets the other. The books will be THE CARDINAL RULE (Cyrano’s suggestion), THE FIREBIRD DECEPTION, and THE PHOENIX LAW (Fred’s ideas). THE CARDINAL RULE will be out in December 2005. THE FIREBIRD DECEPTION is due out in spring 2006, but more specifically I don’t know. But! I also got a release date on THUNDERBIRD FALLS, which is due out in *May* 2006! That means I’ll have three Walker Papers stories out inside a year, and *five* books out total in…
ok. saner now.
Ok. A little saner today. I sent off the title ideas to Matrice last night and just finished writing my bio for the press release. I decided that today I’m going to take care of as much of the non-fiction-writing writerly stuff as possible today, so the next thing to do is … more OtherWorlds stuff.

I have done…
I swam 4000 yards and walked 5 or so miles this weekend. I’m very disappointed that I didn’t wake up weighing 140 pounds this morning. I was not at home a lot this weekend, which is nice and unusual for me. Spent lots of time visiting with my parents and gossiping. Gaming Friday night was fun, although we got almost nothing done and frustrated my poor husband with our lack of focus. :) Oh, and I went and had coffee with Jai yesterday, which was a little hectic because she…
Cross posting from my main journal…
…because there are people who don’t have the mizkit_feed friended, and I’m looking for help. :) I got email from my editor today, who is really enjoying OPERATION: CARDINAL, but who doesn’t like the title at all. (Which, as someone said, is much better than the other way around!) So I believe I’m looking for title suggestions at this point. I’m going to put some of my thought process behind the working titles behind the cut tag, and perhaps people will be able to help some! And if somebody hits…
