Apparently January will be the Month of Rereading My Own Books. I got email from my editorial assistant yesterday saying he'd noticed they didn't have an art fact sheet for HOUSE OF CARDS, the second book of the Old Races Negotiator(?) series yet, and could I fill one out by today. (And, bless him, he said I could fill it out in a word document

Hey there! I found some maps from Mercator (1570's)

and some other resources

Hope this helps (Happy New Year!)

Hope you don't mind a technical question, but how do you mark section breaks in your manuscripts? I've been doing double/double spaces, but sometimes those get lost between pages.

Thanks!

With a carriage return on either side of a centered # or * * *. So it'll be:

Skirts swirling, laughter on her lips, Margrit put care and politics aside, and gave herself up to the joy of dancing.

He had only seen her dance once before.

More or less, anyway; HTML doesn't do doublespacing nicely. But either hash marks or asterisks are pretty standard for doing that, and it's critical for page breaks, yeah. :)

Thank you kitty!

Don't tell anybody that...

If you tell anybody that the writing job doesn't suck, they might not pay us all as much...(evil grin)...just like people who work in Hawaii have to pay the Paradise tax...salaries are much lower there than on the mainland.

I will NEVER tell my publisher that I'd write for free, I will NEVER tell my publisher that I'd write for free...

Happy new year!
