pbrayHeard back today that yes, the due date was a typo, and I actually have nearly two whole weeks for the galleys, which is the longest I've ever had. So I've returned the TARDIS and will now only be slightly crazed rather than completely crazed this weekend.
I'd still like to get them finished up before I head out to Boskone.
After a few emails back and forth, my editor and I have ageed upon the excerpt from THE SEA CHANGE that will be included at the back of THE FIRST BETRAYAL. It's a cool excerpt and would entice me to hunt down the author and shake her down for a pre-release copy :-)
While formatting the excerpt we realized that we'd never come up with a name for the series. I've been calling them "the lizard books" but that's not quite a marketing handle. I sent in a few suggestions which included The Ikarian Chronicles, The Chronicles of Josan and Tales of the Lizard just because I couldn't resist.

jennifer_dunne was tremendously helpful throughout this exercise, coming up with such gems as The Man Who Would Be Lizard, Mr. Monk and the Imperium, Empire and Lizard, and Surf and Turf, referring to the sea power/land empire conflict.
None of the suggestions particularly grabbed me, so we'll see.
