We leave tomorrow for a few days in the Bahamas. I am so very much looking forward to swimming and napping by the pool. We've got one dinner reservation and that it is for the planned activiites. I'm going to read and write and swim and sleep as the mood takes me, and it will be awesome.

Or, it would be awesome if only I could figure out why the Emperor of the Songhai would be willing to loan his artillery to my protagonist to go save a homeland she's still not quite certain she wants to save. But perhaps the answer can be found at the bottom of a sufficiently tall glass of fruity things and rum.

Preferrably with an umbrella.

Does it have anything to do with dragons or unicorns?

Unfortunately, there are neither dragons nor unicorns in the book.

That sounds amazing, especially since it's starting to get cold...

It's our fifth anniversary, among other things.

Oh yes, that's right! Happy anniversary! According to my little Hallmark calendar booklet, the gifts for that one are wood (traditional) or silverware (modern). And next year, your traditional gift is either iron or candy. ...Steampunk candybox?

That would be awesome.

Have you considered spite? Or perhaps some kind of misguided dare? In any case, have fun! ^_^

Spite would be good, but I can't actually think of a reason he would be spiteful. Although, they'd be used against France, so surely I should be able to come up with some reason.

Have fun! Happy Anniversary! Enjoy waterslides! (Were you still going to the Atlantis resort?)

Yep, we did end up at Atlantis. There were waterslides and sharks, but no sharks on waterslides this weekend.

Happy Anniversary! I am most jealous of your vacation. But, we will be going to Hawaii for our own 5th anniversary next year! Woo!
