Cut from email sent to me by my long-suffering DAW editor:

Jody’s painting looks great. Did we send you an image? I can’t remember.

*waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail*

The perceptive reader will now have guessed what the answer to her question is.

It's for the first book of House War, I believe.

It is, indeed the first book, to House War. The rest of the email pertained to the as yet untitled volume. As in, it can't stay untitled, so now I'm wearing the boards in the dining room down to thin grooves while I try to come up with a title.

It is not my favourite thing to do, in much the same way that sucking raw lemons is not my favourite thing to do -- I'm not very good at either, and they make me make very strange faces.
