I did some skimming through The Flayed God last night, looking for the next story ideas for my Sixth Sun Rising series and I think I've found it. I'm in a retelling-the-old-myths mode when it comes to this series, which I feel is a good thing since no many folks know much about Aztec myths, so it's much more fertile ground than Greek, Roman, or British Isles mythology. I've been spending so much time building my catalogue of One World stories (Aztec alternate history-science fiction series, for those who don't know) that I'm really kind of behind on this fantasy series. If I had a good working notion of what this new story was going to be, I'd start on it today and give myself some time away from the Malinche story, but I'm not quite that far into the process for it yet and so should let it brew in my head over the weekend before embarking on that. Maybe I can have a draft ready in time for the polish challenge at LH.
