2:30am. Time to rise and shine... and do some editing! And who better to summon in the new day than Sponge as a rooster?

Oh hey, my favorite Valdemar novel by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon is on sale on Chirp for just $2.99 right now for the audiobook edition.
Yes. Please.
I was a little girl reading Valdemar all the way into my teen years, passing around an old copy of The Black Gryphon between friends and leaving notes in the margin. When the Owlmage Trilogy wrapped up, I was left wondering for decades what would happen next as new series would explore the past instead of the future of the world. "What's next for Valdemar?"
When we got the answer with Gryphon in Light, I was an adult, and extremely happy to see so many long-running plot threads and hints coming to fruition. Also, during those years of growing up, my husband and I used to go out to help Misty and Larry fix up the place as they got older and needed people with good knees and backs to handle the heavy lifting.
Which is to say that the answer as to what was next for my favorite childhood series... includes both my husband and me =] Or, at least, characters named after us. Not to mention a couple of trans characters in addition to Valdemar's already very-queer cast.
So for $2.99, you, too, can try to guess which character is named after my maiden name!

It's always fun when a new group of readers start the series and are going through and talking about it at around the same rate =] Seems like for this batch, Stripes and her motmot bodyguards are the most popular.

The last time we all walked this path together, we ended up combining the pink fairy armadillo with the blue fairy penguin to get the purple fairy^2 pengryphadilluin, a fact @Yotenotes immortalized so future generations would not share our hubris.

Inside of you are two gryphons.
One wants to grow pumpkins, the other wants to steal them.
Over on Tumblr, CockatielForger has been turning the prologue of Starling into a fan comic =]
(The fan art ecosystem there for GryphIns has a lot of goodies you won't see anywhere else, including fan art of Satra from FunkBun.)
