Lagoonfire, the sequel to The Inconvenient God--or shall we say, the second in the Tales of the Polity--has a cover!



Art this time by Susan Lavoie.

And it has a back blurb for the paperback edition:
The past can be a difficult thing to escape…

Decommissioner Thirty-Seven is not the most conventional decommissioner at the Ministry of Divinities, but she takes her role of helping fading gods to retire seriously—and feels bad when things go wrong. Take the decommissioning of Laloran-morna, former god of warm ocean waves: she botched that, somehow, and now he spurts saltwater when upset. When seawater invades a development project in Laloran-morna’s old haunts, suspicion naturally falls on him. But is the retired god the source of the problem? Or is it the work of a mortal saboteur? Searching for the answer to these questions brings Thirty-Seven face-to-face with a past she’d rather forget.

Soon it'll be available for preorder! It's long enough--a novella rather than a novelette--that the publisher can send it to places like Publisher's Weekly to review... I am dying of hope and anxiety!

Same publisher?

Nice.

I hope you get rave reviews.

But what *is* time?

That's such a 2020 mood.

And the daughter is clearly an excellent focus group! Having a title makes the series sound so official.

If there are any that won't fit, you can always break them out into separate novellas! Think Murderbot.

That is such a beautiful cover!

I can't wait to pre-order.

And I am praying hard that the publisher sends it to Publisher's Weekly to review!!!

Color me excited. Have I ever told you that I adore sparkles? How could I not be intrigued by a such a cover. :D

This time I will be prepared for a "short" book, which I wasn't with Inconvenient Gods. :P

You're getting there then; you'll be able to offer me a tome in no time. Or maybe a decade or so. ;)
