L&M 2 has a release date

No, I'm not telling you what it is other than it will soon be Soon(TM). Mostly because I'm not sure what the current policy is at LI on telling the readership exact publication dates, and I'm too tired to trawl through my mailspool looking for clues. However, I assume that it being included in an email listing forthcoming release dates means that it is well and truly officially contracted, even though the contract hardcopy hasn't made its way back across the Atlantic yet.

I have also seen a very early draft sketch of the cover art. *I* like it.
