I wish I could remember whether it was Ki & Vandien that had to be left behind or the Liavek ones... the latter makes more sense to me, as they were created by a bunch of authors, not just Megan. Someone could of course re-ask the question at the newsgroup... (Whether there will ever be more K&V, I mean.)
Re: wiki and summaries... I think we should try to keep those at minimum, even after the book is out. Or that has been how we've done it so far (it's of course up for discussion if people disagree!) Just give a basic idea of where the story takes place (both in space & time), names of the main characters, a theme - things like that. I haven't read the Triumph, but I'd say it's safe to say something like "it's about two Roman soldiers during the the First Punic War and is based on real recorded history". I wouldn't necessarily mention the you-know-what or that the other soldier has to well-you-know (I stumbled upon both facts reading reviews & interviews and considered them somewhat spoilery but then again maybe that's NOT the point of the story and I haven't been spoiled! )
Huh, went a bit off-topic there, sorry!
Looking at the stories, there are at least three that feature felines heavily: Cat's Meat, The Fifth Squashed Cat and Strays. So I think the cover is very fitting. I'm wondering if the US cover will be different since the title is too...
