Update: The first draft of In the Service of the Heir is written now (May 18), exactly three months after I started it. I'm going to take a break - I need one - before revising both novels and getting them posted.
I've got the first draft done (Feb 12) for both In the Service of the Prince and another collection of essays, Worlds of Wonder. I'll probably draft the last of the In the Service trilogy before I get those two revised and published, though.
