Cover art bought from artist Michelle Milburn for Okal Rel Legacies novella Misfit Leaves Home by author Krysia Anderson. I'm working on edits of the manuscript. Interior text for Opus 04 is off to Absolute XPress for production.

On the Saga front, received the front material of Part 6: Avim's Oath from Edge for proofing, and I am 70,000 words into the first draft of Part 9: Holy War.

Snippet from yesterday's production on Part 9

Sam Dem’Vrel, nee O’Pearl, stood staring at the booted, broad-shouldered bulk of Arm Commander Eler Nersal filling up her family living room and could think of nothing except how completely he failed to suit the quaintly preserved hominess of the space he occupied, with its warm wooden wainscoting, out of fashion draperies and comfortably upholstered furniture.

Working on stories for Opus 4, the next installment for the Okal Rel Legacies series. Lexie's is past the post in editing and I'm half way done Hal Friesen's story about the reluctant Nersallian, Nestor, on a working visit to the Nesak homeworld of SanHome. Opus 4 and Opus 5 anthologies were delayed by my change of day job and city but now I've been on the job in Quesnel for a month, Part 6: Avim's Oath is "put to bed" with Edge (publisher) and I am a novel ahead on the first draft front (Part 7: Healer's Sword is written), it was time to get back to the ORL series. After Opus 5 is done I'll see about getting some of my own "nearly finished" novellas into the ORL pipeline, main series willing.
