One of these things is not like the other
Every year, publishers put out a Publishing Program which is a very pretty book distributed to Booksellers to let them know what's coming and when, and hopefully get them all excited and order lots of books that they never send back to the warehouse.
 Anyway, those nice people at HarperCollins Australia sent me the 2007 edition, and naturally, I went looking to make sure I was in there. Sure enough, The Immortal Prince was there, along with Gods of Amyrantha, and the blurb they'd done for it, which I hadn't seen until now... Arkady has gone into exile with her husband following the disaster of Cayal's escape. No one is beyond suspicion, and Stellan's niece is using her new position as Princess-to-be to wreak havoc, The Tide is on the rise, and so is the magic of the immortals, who are jockeying for positions of power in the human world. Neat... couldn't have put it better myself... Well, maybe... you see, I think they should have used the phrase suicidal immortal, but I lost that argument long ago. Just how resoundingly I'd lost that argument was driven home to me when I spotted the big sell pitch line for the series, which totally cracked me up... "From the bestselling author of Medalon and Wolfblade comes a compelling epic fantasy quartet about the desire for eternal life" And here I was, all this time, thinking I was writing a compelling epic fantasy quartet about an immortal fed up to the back teeth with eternal life... - Publicists... god bless 'em ROFL Palace of Impossible Dreams word count
