to whet your appetite

Tor.com has posted an excerpt from A Natural History of Dragon.

It consists of Isabella's foreword and (if you click through to the second page) a bit of her early life, including the episode termed "an unfortunate incident with a dove." Also, one of Todd Lockwood's pieces of interior art for the book!

No, this doesn't bring the release date any closer (it's still February) . . . but it'll give you something to nibble on until then. :-)

Also -- and I could have sworn I posted about this before, but I've looked and can't find it -- A Natural History of Dragons is available through Netgalley at this point. So if you're a reviewer set up with them, you can get your hands on the book now. One of life's little perks . . . .

Hey, want a guest post on the blog?... (we can do a giveaway, if you like...)

Oof. Yes, but it may be a bit belated? I'm having to finish the second book right at the same time I'm doing promotion for the first, and brain cells are in short supply for the next -- yikes -- month and a half or so. (I should not let myself end up with this kind of schedule again.)

you just let me know, and we'll schedule it...
