I had hoped there would be cover art to show you this week, but alas the cover is undergoing another round of possible revision. This is actually good news: it means the book is already garnering enough positive attention that Random House wants to get the cover exactly right.

That doesn’t mean I’m not feeling impatient. Fortunately, I have plenty to keep me occupied.

You, on the other hand, look bored. Have some Hanggai. It’s on the house.

There!  Isn’t that better? Don’t you reckon you could ride your pony across the steppe? Me too!

Someday I am going to learn throat singing and make everyone sorry.
