So, the Phone Call offering me the Job finally came this afternoon. (Just as I was rushing out the door for a meeting with Sir Menȝies Campbell, as luck would have it.)
I’ve asked for it to reach me in writing – which hasn’t happened yet – but I think I will take it.
Further updates as appropriate. Thanks, all, for the good wishes.
Interesting – Guy Gavriel Kay is the only fantasy writer I’ve ever really been able to get into; perhaps it’s related to how closely he ties his ‘fantasy’ to actual history.
