Well now that February is almost over, it's time to move on to the next phase of this thing.  I've gotten feedback from a good few of you, and it's all been encouraging, thank you all so much!  I haven't actually started my revision yet but that will change in March.  Originally I had planned on having the revision done sometime in that month but must be a little more conservative about that estimate now; we're looking at the revision to wrap up sometime in April.  In any case, I'm hopeful that I'll be ready to move on to the more frightening phase of submissions by May ...

One bit of feedback that was fairly consistent was a desire to see a sequel.  It's true that I left some things open-ended in the story but I was not, in fact, planning a sequel at that time. The idea has been bouncing around long enough in my head though that I'm ready to commit to the notion : once I'm completely done with The Silver Token, I'll be starting on a sequel!  Don't expect much in the way of details from me right now, of course, but it'll be an opportunity to explore a little more of the history of the dragons, build upon some existing relationships, and even see our protagonists caught up in adventure and intrigue in the far corners of the globe ...

Sorry, I couldn't help it :)
