And still no ‘big’ blog post because I want to stick with The Gathering of the Lost<\/strong><\/em>—I’m having so much fun with the story that I really want to hurry-hurry-hurry<\/em> to get it to you as soon as I possibly can. (Shakes fist at the earthquake(s) for throwing a roadblock onto the ‘time-to-readers’ superhighway!)<\/p>\n

Yesterday I finished revising an Asantir and Haimyr chapter and as readers of The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em> will know, when Asantir and Haimyr get involved things happen. I shall not say more—my authorial lips are sealed—other than that some serious story building was going down, not just for the current book but for the series. I have to say, I’m loving it and I seriously hope you will, too.<\/p>\n

And today is not only Friday, but after four days of wild weather—rain of the “cats’n’dogs” variety and literally howling winds, if not so bad where I am as otherwhere in the country—today is brilliantly sunny and clear. Blue skies, as the song says, are smiling at me … So I am off for a walk to enjoy the day and then back again to the world of Haarth and\u00a0 I think, probably a litte revisit to the Midsummer tourney in Caer Argent: “Arms and the man I sing …” <\/em>Or woman since this is an equal opportunity story in that respect. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

OK, because the sky is so blue and the sun so bright, the first person to tell me the source of the quote ‘Arms and the man, I sing’<\/em> (preferably without using a search engine!) gets some signed “Helen Lowe” swag: an “Heir of Night’ cover flat;\u00a0 a bookplate (you can choose whether you want the mass market or trade version); a postcard; and a copy of the Sir Julius Vogel Award nomination poster for Thornspell<\/em> in 2009, designed by Peter Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
